What this market looks like
1,581 education and training contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £2.6bn between them. They are held across 449 buyers, and the typical one is worth £75k.
1,050 of them expire within twelve months, and 189 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 66% of this market back in play inside a year.
1,570 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 2% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
84 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 NHS England (110), Somerset Council (54), Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (47).
The contracts here are most often held by Yeovil College (15), QA LIMITED (9), TRN (TRAIN) LTD. (5).
