What this market looks like
231 it services and software development contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £14.3bn between them. They are held across 79 buyers, and the typical one is worth £56k.

The most active buyers are Greater Manchester Combined Authority (19), Sellafield Limited (14), Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (11).
The contracts here are most often held by SAP (UK) LIMITED (4), SOFTCAT PLC (4), Content Formula Ltd (3).
