What this market looks like
173 freight, logistics and travel contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £143m between them. They are held across 116 buyers, and the typical one is worth £130k.
108 of them expire within twelve months, and 40 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 62% of this market back in play inside a year.
166 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.
10 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 National Highways Limited (6), CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENT, FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE SCIENCE (4), Tees Valley Combined Authority (4).
The contracts here are most often held by NATIONAL PARKING PLATFORM LIMITED (7), NETWORK RAIL (3), RINGGO LIMITED (3).
