What this market looks like
12 office and computer equipment contracts in West Midlands carry a published end date, worth £20m between them. They are held across 11 buyers, and the typical one is worth £324k.
5 of them expire within twelve months, and 2 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 42% of this market back in play inside a year.
12 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 25% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
1 is a framework 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 Holy Cross Catholic Multi Academy Company (2), Stoke on Trent City Council (1), Coventry City Council (1).
The contracts here are most often held by SOFTCAT PLC (1), VIP Computer Centre LTD (1), Forward Products (2013) Ltd (1).
