What this market looks like
20 electrical equipment contracts in West Midlands carry a published end date, worth £2.3m between them. They are held across 14 buyers, and the typical one is worth £77k.
15 of them expire within twelve months, and 4 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 75% of this market back in play inside a year.
19 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.
1 is a framework 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 National Highways Limited (4), The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (3), West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority (2).
The contracts here are most often held by A.P. MITCHELL BUILDING SERVICES LIMITED (2), UK Power Networks Services (Commercial) Limited (1), LIFE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES LIMITED (1).
