Research and development contracts expiring in North East England: 38 worth £2.8m

38 research and development contracts in North East England carry a published end date, worth £2.8m between them. They are held across 9 buyers, and the typical one is worth £63k.

31 of them expire within twelve months, and 4 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 82% of this market back in play inside a year.

45 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 15% 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 North East Combined Authority (9), CENTRE FOR PROCESS INNOVATION LIMITED (8), Tees Valley Combined Authority (7).

The contracts here are most often held by BioConsulting International Ltd (3), Urban Foresight Limited (3), IfM Engage Ltd (2).
