Data Item |
Description |
Bid count |
The number of bid opportunities for the attribute in the first column. The total row at the bottom displays the total number of bid opportunities for the bid rate analysis period. |
Bid count + No-bid count |
Number of bid opportunities + number of no-bid opportunities for the attribute in the first column. The total row at the bottom displays the total number of bid and no-bid opportunities for the bid rate analysis period. |
Bid rate based on count |
The bid rate based on the number of bid and no-bid opportunities for the attribute in the first column: Number of bid opportunities ÷ (Number of bid opportunities + Number of no-bid opportunities) The total row at the bottom displays the bid rate based on the total number of bid and no-bid opportunities for the bid rate analysis period. |
Bid amount |
The sum of unweighted pipeline amounts for bid opportunities for the attribute in the first column. The total row at the bottom displays the total pipeline amount for bid opportunities for the bid rate analysis period. |
Bid amount + No-bid amount |
Sum of pipeline amount for bid opportunities + sum of pipeline amount for no-bid opportunities for the attribute in the first column. The total row at the bottom displays the total pipeline amount for bid and no-bid opportunities for the bid rate analysis period. Pipeline amounts used to calculate bid rates are unweighted amounts. |
Bid rate based on pipeline amounts |
The bid rate based on the pipeline amounts for bid and no-bid opportunities for the attribute in the first column: Pipeline amount for bid opportunities ÷ (Pipeline amount for bid opportunities + Pipeline amount for no-bid opportunities.) The total row at the bottom displays the bid rate based on the total pipeline amounts for bid and no-bid opportunities for the bid rate analysis period. Pipeline amounts used to calculate bid rates are unweighted amounts. |

Your firm uses the opportunity open date as the bid rate analysis date. For principal Grace Cohen, the total pipeline amounts for the bid opportunities and no-bid opportunities with an open date in 2012 are the following:
Bid opportunities: $2,000,000
No-bid opportunities: $3,000,000
If you select 2012 as the analysis period, this table displays a 40% bid rate in Amount Bid Rate for Grace Cohen:
2,000,000 ÷ (2,000,000 + 3,000,000) = .4 = 40%
As part of the Costpoint Analytics configuration process, your system administrator specifies the date field from opportunity records in GovWin Capture Management that Costpoint Analytics uses to build the calendar for the bid rate portion of the Bid and Win Rate Analytics. That calendar is used to determine which opportunities to include in the bid rate calculations when you use the calendar bar to select an analysis period.
For example, your firm could use the opportunity open date. When you select a year in the calendar bar above the Bid Rate Trended chart to specify an analysis period for bid rates, Costpoint Analytics includes all bid and no-bid opportunities with an open date that falls within that year.
The bid rate analysis date field can be, and often is, different than the win rate analysis date field. If the two date fields are the same, however, the analysis period you select for the bid rate analytics is automatically applied to the win rate analytics as well.
As part of the Costpoint Analytics configuration process, your system administrator specifies how Costpoint Analytics is to determine which opportunities are bid and no-bid opportunities for the purpose of calculating your firm's bid rates. That determination can be based on stage, on a user-defined field from the Opportunity table in GovWin Capture Management, or on a combination of the two.
For more information, see Bid and Win Rate Settings.
When your firm implements Capture Analytics, it can select two amount fields from opportunity records in GovWin Capture Management to analyze as pipeline. The options under Pipeline Amount enable you to display bid rates calculated using amounts from either of those two fields.
Pipeline amounts used to calculate bid rates are unweighted amounts.
You can display bid rate data in the Bid Rate Analysis table by any of the following opportunity attributes:
Organization
Principal
Project manager
Supervisor
Client

Type
Opportunity name or a combination of opportunity number and name
To change the analyzed attribute in the first column, do either of the following:
Click
to cycle through the
options one at a time.
Right-click
to select an option from
a menu.
If you apply filters before you change the analyzed attribute, the table
only displays amounts for attribute values that satisfy those filters.
For example, if you select two sources in the Source
list under Additional Filters
and then use to display amounts
by source, the table only displays the bid rate data for those two opportunity
sources.
