What this market looks like
295 it services and software development contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £171m between them. They are held across 62 buyers, and the typical one is worth £64k.

The contracts here are most often held by DELT SHARED SERVICES LIMITED (5), SOFTCAT PLC (5), The Black Fallow Company (3).
