Office and computer equipment contracts expiring in East Midlands: 24 worth £178m

24 office and computer equipment contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £178m between them. They are held across 13 buyers, and the typical one is worth £240k.

15 of them expire within twelve months, and 10 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.

67 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 10% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

12 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 Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO (12), West Northamptonshire Council (1), Newark And Sherwood District Council (1).

The contracts here are most often held by AMPLE STAR ENTERPRISES UK LIMITED (3), VICTORIA GRANT LIMITED (2), 3M UNITED KINGDOM PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY (01123045) (2).
