What this market looks like
10 clothing and uniforms contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £1.5bn between them. They are held across 6 buyers, and the typical one is worth £70m.
6 of them expire within twelve months, and 5 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 60% of this market back in play inside a year.
34 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 24% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
5 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 Crown Commercial Service (5), Lancashire Combined Fire Authority (1), Wythenshawe Community Housing Group Limited (1).
The contracts here are most often held by AECOM LIMITED (5), 4OC LIMITED (4), ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED (4).
