What this market looks like
17 public administration and defence contracts in North East England carry a published end date, worth £5.4m between them. They are held across 11 buyers, and the typical one is worth £150k.
7 of them expire within twelve months, and 1 is already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 41% of this market back in play inside a year.
15 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 33% 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 Newcastle City Council (3), Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority (3), Hartlepool Borough Council (2).
The contracts here are most often held by RED ONE LTD (3), WAYTHROUGH (2), TLC: TALK, LISTEN, CHANGE. (1).
