What this market looks like
242 architecture, engineering and surveying contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £165m between them. They are held across 88 buyers, and the typical one is worth £72k.
153 of them expire within twelve months, and 62 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 63% of this market back in play inside a year.
230 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 5% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
12 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so part of this market is reached by getting onto a supplier list first and competing for call-offs afterwards.
The most active buyers are Portsmouth City Council (15), Oxfordshire County Council (15), UK Fusion Energy Ltd (13).
The contracts here are most often held by OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED (5), ATKINSRÉALIS UK LIMITED (5), HASKONING UK LIMITED (3).
