Public administration and defence contracts expiring in East of England: 21 worth £7.3m

21 public administration and defence contracts in East of England carry a published end date, worth £7.3m between them. They are held across 15 buyers, and the typical one is worth £184k.

14 of them expire within twelve months, and 8 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 67% of this market back in play inside a year.

43 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 17% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

4 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 East of England NHS collaborative Procurement Hub (4), Bedford Borough Council (2), South Cambridgeshire District Council (2).

The contracts here are most often held by AFRO INNOVATION GROUP (3), AGE UK NORWICH LIMITED (3), BIRMINGHAM VOLUNTARY SERVICE COUNCIL (3).
