Furniture and cleaning products contracts expiring in East Midlands: 57 worth £415m

57 furniture and cleaning products contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £415m between them. They are held across 14 buyers, and the typical one is worth £300k.

19 of them expire within twelve months, and 13 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 33% of this market back in play inside a year.

134 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 10% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

42 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so a large part of this market is reached by getting onto a supplier list first and competing for call-offs afterwards.

The most active buyers are Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO (31), ESPO (9), Derbyshire County Council (3).

The contracts here are most often held by BUNZL UK LIMITED (8), AMPLE STAR ENTERPRISES UK LIMITED (7), RAMON HOLDINGS LIMITED (T/A Ramon Hygiene Products) (7).
