What this market looks like
324 construction and civil engineering contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £500m between them. They are held across 99 buyers, and the typical one is worth £214k.
240 of them expire within twelve months, and 159 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 74% of this market back in play inside a year.
306 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 3% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
14 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 Oxfordshire County Council (28), Hampshire County Council (25), Medway Council (13).
The contracts here are most often held by CME HEATING LIMITED (4), GREEN BUILDING MAINTENANCE LIMITED (4), BELL GROUP LTD (3).
