What this market looks like
17 other community and personal services contracts in Northern Ireland carry a published end date, worth £8.4m between them. They are held across 9 buyers, and the typical one is worth £189k.
11 of them expire within twelve months, and 4 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 65% of this market back in play inside a year.
15 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 29% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

The contracts here are most often held by HEALTHY KIDZ CIC (3), FERMANAGH RURAL COMMUNITY NETWORK (1), COMMUNITY ADVICE LISBURN & CASTLEREAGH (1).
