What this market looks like
41 building materials contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £53m between them. They are held across 31 buyers, and the typical one is worth £97k.
28 of them expire within twelve months, and 16 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 68% of this market back in play inside a year.
41 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 7% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
2 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 Kent County Council (4), Milton Keynes City Council (2), DIAMOND LIGHT SOURCE LIMITED (2).
The contracts here are most often held by Bell Group Ltd (1), OPTIMUM ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LTD (1), BREHENY CIVIL ENGINEERING LIMITED (1).
