What this market looks like
2,156 it services and software development contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £16.5bn between them. They are held across 691 buyers, and the typical one is worth £70k.
1,332 of them expire within twelve months, and 323 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 62% of this market back in play inside a year.
1,866 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.
58 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) (42), CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (42), City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (31).
The contracts here are most often held by SOFTCAT PLC (21), CIVICA UK LIMITED (15), Phoenix Software Limited (9).
