What this market looks like
102 education and training contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £57m between them. They are held across 39 buyers, and the typical one is worth £107k.
46 of them expire within twelve months, and 4 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 45% of this market back in play inside a year.
140 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 7% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
6 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 Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government (12), Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) (7), Wales & West Utilities Limited (7).
The contracts here are most often held by JISC (5), Prifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi (3), Cardiff and Vale College (2).
