Laboratory and precision equipment contracts expiring in South West England
Public sector laboratory and precision equipment contracts held by buyers in South West England that have a published end date. Approach the buyer while the incumbent still holds it, rather than meeting the work for the first time when it goes out to tender.
What this market looks like
87 laboratory and precision equipment contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £21m between them. They are held across 14 buyers, and the typical one is worth £46k.
72 of them expire within twelve months, and 37 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 83% of this market back in play inside a year.
85 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 7% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
2 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) (32), UK Research and Innovation (30), University of Exeter (6).
The contracts here are most often held by Photonics Solutions (2), nke Instrumentation (2), SWALE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (2).
Nothing with a published end date here yet. Buyers publish end dates on contract details notices, and not every buyer files one.
