What this market looks like
282 business services, legal, hr and marketing contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £732m between them. They are held across 99 buyers, and the typical one is worth £78k.
192 of them expire within twelve months, and 45 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.
322 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 3% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
18 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 Greater Manchester Combined Authority (21), The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (14), Cheshire West and Chester Council (12).
The contracts here are most often held by HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED (4), RULLION LIMITED (4), IRG ADVISORS LLP (3).
