What this market looks like
10 chemicals contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £2.9m between them. They are held across 7 buyers, and the typical one is worth £46k.
8 of them expire within twelve months, and 3 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 80% of this market back in play inside a year.
10 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 30% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
1 is a framework 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 (4), UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) (1), Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (1).
The contracts here are most often held by Air Liquide Advanced Technologies (1), Mistral Security Inc (1), GOMPELS HEALTHCARE LIMITED (1).
