What this market looks like
82 construction and mining machinery contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £67m between them. They are held across 51 buyers, and the typical one is worth £120k.
49 of them expire within twelve months, and 27 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 60% of this market back in play inside a year.
78 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 20% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
13 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 Leicestershire County Council (8), Liverpool City Council (6), Gateshead Borough Council (5).
The contracts here are most often held by GAP GROUP LIMITED (11), SUNBELT RENTALS LIMITED (10), WICKSTEED LEISURE LIMITED (4).
