Other community and personal services contracts expiring in South West England: 99 worth £241m

99 other community and personal services contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £241m between them. They are held across 33 buyers, and the typical one is worth £120k.

67 of them expire within twelve months, and 28 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 68% of this market back in play inside a year.

125 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 7% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

15 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 Devon County Council (21), Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (12), Torbay Council (10).

The contracts here are most often held by PLYMOUTH ARGYLE FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY TRUST (5), EAT THAT FROG C.I.C. (4), AGILE WORKFORCE SERVICES LIMITED (3).
