Medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts expiring in East of England: 67 worth £547m

67 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts in East of England carry a published end date, worth £547m between them. They are held across 14 buyers, and the typical one is worth £36k.

55 of them expire within twelve months, and 33 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 82% of this market back in play inside a year.

69 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 12% 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 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (36), East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (7), Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (4).

The contracts here are most often held by NHS ENGLAND (4), UK 3B SCIENTIFIC LIMITED (3), FUJIFILM SONOSITE LTD (2).
