What this market looks like
107 public administration and defence contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £987m between them. They are held across 39 buyers, and the typical one is worth £71k.
72 of them expire within twelve months, and 21 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.
103 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.
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 Ministry of Justice (29), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (12), Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (7).
The contracts here are most often held by South East London Mind Limited (4), SOLACE WOMANS AID (2), Skills for Care Ltd (2).
