What this market looks like
12 communications equipment contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £751m between them. They are held across 8 buyers, and the typical one is worth £108k.
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 33% of this market back in play inside a year.
30 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 16% 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 The City of Liverpool College (3), Procurement for Housing (2), Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd (formerly The ACC Liverpool Group Ltd) (2).
The contracts here are most often held by Southern Communications Corporate Solutions (2), Social Telecoms CIC (2), Britannic Technologies (2).
