What this market looks like
47 post and telecoms contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £47m between them. They are held across 31 buyers, and the typical one is worth £90k.
23 of them expire within twelve months, and 6 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 49% of this market back in play inside a year.
45 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 13% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
2 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 Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (8), NHS England (3), Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (2).
The contracts here are most often held by Royal Mail Group Limited (2), ICNH Ltd t/a DrDoctor (2), Vodafone Espana SAU (2).
