What this market looks like
202 communications equipment contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £1.2bn between them. They are held across 141 buyers, and the typical one is worth £90k.
120 of them expire within twelve months, and 38 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 59% of this market back in play inside a year.
229 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.
16 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 UK Research and Innovation (10), Science Museum Group (5), Defence Equipment and Support (5).
The contracts here are most often held by Daisy Communications Limited (4), BALLICOM LIMITED (4), M GROUP TELECOM LIMITED (3).
