What this market looks like
46 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £138m between them. They are held across 15 buyers, and the typical one is worth £90k.
29 of them expire within twelve months, and 9 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 63% of this market back in play inside a year.
70 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 9% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
9 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 University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (14), University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (5), UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF DERBY AND BURTON NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (5).
The contracts here are most often held by AERO HEALTHCARE LTD (3), Baxter Healthcare Ltd (2), ITH Pharma Ltd (2).
