What this market looks like
579 it services and software development contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £1.2bn between them. They are held across 177 buyers, and the typical one is worth £121k.
346 of them expire within twelve months, and 90 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 60% of this market back in play inside a year.
559 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.
15 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 Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (29), NHS England (28), Department for Business & Trade (23).
The contracts here are most often held by WSP UK Limited (4), SOFTCAT PLC (3), Phoenix Software Limited (3).
