Building materials contracts expiring in Wales: 36 worth £22m

36 building materials contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £22m between them. They are held across 17 buyers, and the typical one is worth £200k.

9 of them expire within twelve months, and 5 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 25% of this market back in play inside a year.

58 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 11% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

7 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 Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council (7), Wrexham County Borough Council (5), City & County of Swansea (5).

The contracts here are most often held by LEB Construction Limited (3), HUWS GRAY LIMITED (2), LBS BUILDERS MERCHANTS LIMITED (2).
