What this market looks like
12 architecture, engineering and surveying contracts in Scotland carry a published end date, worth £50m between them. They are held across 7 buyers, and the typical one is worth £402k.
9 of them expire within twelve months, and 3 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 75% of this market back in play inside a year.
12 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 36% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
The most active buyers are ORE Catapult (4), Great British Energy (2), Northern Lighthouse Board (2).
The contracts here are most often held by Deloitte LLP (2), Baringa Partners LLP (2), SUEZ Recycling & Recovery UK (1).

Regions come from the buyer's published NUTS code, which is the location of the buying authority rather than always the place the work happens. Contract end dates are published by buyers on contract details notices. Re-tender windows are computed estimates, not announcements.
