Medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts expiring in North West England: 53 worth £63m

53 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £63m between them. They are held across 20 buyers, and the typical one is worth £56k.

40 of them expire within twelve months, and 12 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 75% of this market back in play inside a year.

58 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.

4 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 Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (11), COUNTESS OF CHESTER HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (8), The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (7).

The contracts here are most often held by AEXIS MEDICAL LIMITED (2), Athera Healthcare Ltd (2), GETINGE LIMITED (2).
