What this market looks like
71 public utilities contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £120m between them. They are held across 53 buyers, and the typical one is worth £300k.
39 of them expire within twelve months, and 17 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 55% of this market back in play inside a year.
70 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 16% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
5 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 SONI Ltd (9), Together Housing Association Limited (3), Natural Resources Wales (3).
The contracts here are most often held by GridBeyond Limited (7), iPower Flexible Energy Ltd (5), Craiggore Energy Limited (3).
