Health and social care contracts expiring in Wales: 233 worth £244m

233 health and social care contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £244m between them. They are held across 35 buyers, and the typical one is worth £17k.

173 of them expire within twelve months, and 61 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 74% of this market back in play inside a year.

184 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 5% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

2 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 Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (132), Wrexham County Borough Council (14), Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (10).

The contracts here are most often held by Tros Gynnal Plant (6), Llanfairfechan Group Practice (4), Llanberis Practice (4).
