What this market looks like
334 industrial machinery contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £511m between them. They are held across 191 buyers, and the typical one is worth £110k.
211 of them expire within twelve months, and 94 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 63% of this market back in play inside a year.
374 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 2% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
21 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 UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) (16), UK Research and Innovation (14), Ministry of Justice (13).
The contracts here are most often held by IPL PLASTICS (UK) LIMITED (3), W.H. SCOTT & SON (ENGINEERS) LIMITED (3), FACULTATIEVE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (3).
