What this market looks like
73 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £27m between them. They are held across 28 buyers, and the typical one is worth £70k.
42 of them expire within twelve months, and 11 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 58% of this market back in play inside a year.
70 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 8% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
5 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 SOMERSET NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (8), Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (8), University of Exeter (6).
The contracts here are most often held by Terumo BCT Europe NV (2), PodTown (2), ALCON EYE CARE UK LIMITED (2).
