What this market looks like
768 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £13.3bn between them. They are held across 191 buyers, and the typical one is worth £100k.
401 of them expire within twelve months, and 154 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 52% of this market back in play inside a year.
861 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 5% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
185 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 Regional Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service (102), Belfast Health & Social Care Trust (36), CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (36).
The contracts here are most often held by INTERSURGICAL Ireland LIMITED (29), EBRINGTON (NI) LTD (22), Medana Healthcare Ltd (21).
