What this market looks like
70 leisure, culture and sport contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £299m between them. They are held across 39 buyers, and the typical one is worth £85k.
32 of them expire within twelve months, and 7 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 46% of this market back in play inside a year.
70 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 11% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
1 is a framework 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 Science Museum Group (13), British Library Board (6), Tower Hamlets (4).
The contracts here are most often held by Hüttinger Interactive Exhibitions (5), Meyvaert NV (2), YUNEX LIMITED (1).
