Communications equipment contracts expiring in Wales: 19 worth £75m

19 communications equipment contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £75m between them. They are held across 13 buyers, and the typical one is worth £273k.

9 of them expire within twelve months, and 0 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 47% of this market back in play inside a year.

21 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 25% 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 Conwy County Borough Council (3), Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government (2), Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales (2).

The contracts here are most often held by Airband Community Internet Ltd (2), Fibrus Ltd (2), Daisy Communications Limited (2).
