Business services, legal, HR and marketing contracts expiring in the UK: 3,261 worth £5.6bn

3,261 business services, legal, hr and marketing contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £5.6bn between them. They are held across 858 buyers, and the typical one is worth £76k.

2,122 of them expire within twelve months, and 690 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 65% of this market back in play inside a year.

2,987 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 2% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

180 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 UK Research and Innovation (50), British Council (48), CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (48).

The contracts here are most often held by KPMG LLP (22), HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED (20), G2V RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED (16).
