What this market looks like
266 business services, legal, hr and marketing contracts in West Midlands carry a published end date, worth £124m between them. They are held across 74 buyers, and the typical one is worth £80k.
169 of them expire within twelve months, and 44 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 64% of this market back in play inside a year.
300 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 4% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
8 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 National Highways Limited (26), Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust (20), West Midlands Combined Authority (15).
The contracts here are most often held by Word360 (6), HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED (3), NIYAA PEOPLE LIMITED (3).
