Industrial machinery contracts expiring in Wales: 23 worth £16m

23 industrial machinery contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £16m between them. They are held across 15 buyers, and the typical one is worth £129k.

12 of them expire within twelve months, and 4 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 52% of this market back in play inside a year.

32 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 22% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

4 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 City & County of Swansea (7), Transport for Wales Rail Limited (Utility Buyer) (2), NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust) (2).

The contracts here are most often held by GAP group limited (3), Sunbelt rentals limited (3), KJ Hire & sales limited (2).
