How much of your spend is awarded without competition?
Five numbers you already know, and no sign-up. This tool does not estimate your savings; it tells you how much of your own spend currently goes out without a competitive event, and the least it would take to cover it.
Your position
— of your annual spend is awarded without competition.
That is of your addressable spend, across — of — categories.
For scale, and it is someone else's number, not a projection of yours: a laminates manufacturer on procurEngine reached over 300 sourcing events a month. Event capacity is not what is holding the figure above where it is.
Where these numbers come from. Every figure above is arithmetic on what you entered. We have not applied a savings rate, a benchmark or a model, and we do not estimate how your spend splits across categories, because you know that and we do not. The first figure is an average across the categories you told us go out without competition, not a claim that any one of them carries that amount. The one figure that is a floor rather than a count is the last: covering an uncompeted category is counted as one event a year, and a category bought seasonally or in several cycles will need more.
Why we do not show a savings percentage here
Most vendor calculators end with a number like “you could save 12%”. We could print one too, and you would be right not to believe it: the assumptions behind it would be ours, not yours.
The honest position is that the price effect of adding bidders varies by category, by market structure, by how the event is run, and by how the category is bought: one annual bulk award and twelve spot buys of the same spend do not behave alike. We publish a 4–17% range because that is what one customer measured across their own categories, and we link it to the study it came from rather than presenting it as a rate you should expect.
What we can tell you without guessing is how much of your spend never sees a second quote. That number is yours, it is usually larger than people expect, and it is the part you can act on.
