What this market looks like
9 clothing and uniforms contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £17m between them. They are held across 7 buyers, and the typical one is worth £160k.
4 of them expire within twelve months, and 2 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.
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.

The most active buyers are Ministry of Defence (2), UK Research and Innovation (2), Bath & North East Somerset Council (1).
The contracts here are most often held by Worcestershire Medal Service Limited (1), Firmin and Sons Limited (1), Firmin and Sons Ltd (1).
