What this market looks like
96 architecture, engineering and surveying contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £44m between them. They are held across 35 buyers, and the typical one is worth £124k.
51 of them expire within twelve months, and 13 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 53% of this market back in play inside a year.
110 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 6% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
6 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 Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC (10), Carmarthenshire County Council (7), Cyngor Gwynedd (6).
The contracts here are most often held by BUILDING DESIGN PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (3), Transport for Wales (2), Lucion Services Limited (2).
