What this market looks like
9 clothing and uniforms contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £8.0m between them. They are held across 5 buyers, and the typical one is worth £567k.
4 of them expire within twelve months, and 3 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 44% of this market back in play inside a year.
24 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 13% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
3 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so a large part of this market is reached by getting onto a supplier list first and competing for call-offs afterwards.
The most active buyers are The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire (3), Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO (2), Loughborough University (2).
The contracts here are most often held by ALPINE VENDING CO LIMITED (1), BWT UK LIMITED (1), CAMBRIDGE VENDING SOLUTIONS LIMITED (1).
