What this market looks like
143 health and social care contracts in North East England carry a published end date, worth £160m between them. They are held across 23 buyers, and the typical one is worth £155k.
69 of them expire within twelve months, and 13 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 48% of this market back in play inside a year.
118 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 11% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
13 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 Durham County Council (19), Darlington Borough Council (18), Hartlepool Borough Council (18).
The contracts here are most often held by NORTHUMBRIA HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (6), HARBOUR SUPPORT SERVICES (6), CREATIVE SUPPORT LIMITED (4).
