Medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts expiring in London: 121 worth £11.9bn

121 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £11.9bn between them. They are held across 29 buyers, and the typical one is worth £1.3m.

57 of them expire within twelve months, and 21 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 47% of this market back in play inside a year.

259 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.

51 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so a large part of this market is reached by getting onto a supplier list first and competing for call-offs afterwards.

The most active buyers are SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED (26), NHS England (25), Secretary of State for Health and Social Care acting as part of the Crown through UK Health Security Agency (18).

The contracts here are most often held by Baxter Healthcare Ltd (6), GE Medical Systems Ltd (5), B. Braun Medical Limited (5).
