Education and training contracts expiring in East Midlands: 157 worth £128m

157 education and training contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £128m between them. They are held across 24 buyers, and the typical one is worth £71k.

123 of them expire within twelve months, and 12 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 78% of this market back in play inside a year.

154 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 6% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

7 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 Lincolnshire County Council (45), North Northamptonshire Council (16), The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire (15).

The contracts here are most often held by CAST ANGLING PROJECTS COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY (4), Community Learning in Partnership Limited (4), Think Employment Ltd (3).
