What this market looks like
173 hotels, catering and retail contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £802m between them. They are held across 106 buyers, and the typical one is worth £152k.
64 of them expire within twelve months, and 40 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 37% of this market back in play inside a year.
247 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.
38 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 Cheshire East Council (28), BRITISH COUNCIL(THE) (13), Torbay Council (9).
The contracts here are most often held by COMPASS CONTRACT SERVICES (U.K.) LIMITED (5), INTERNATIONAL HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (5), PLYMOUTH ARGYLE FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY TRUST (5).
