What this market looks like
33 it services and software development contracts in Northern Ireland carry a published end date, worth £16m between them. They are held across 17 buyers, and the typical one is worth £258k.
15 of them expire within twelve months, and 5 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 45% of this market back in play inside a year.
29 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.
3 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 Business Services Organisation ITS (9), SONI Ltd (3), Western Health & Social Care Trust (3).
The contracts here are most often held by DH OPCO UK LTD (3), CORE Financial Systems Limited (3), Nortal UK (2).
