What this market looks like
214 security, fire and defence contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £1.3bn between them. They are held across 115 buyers, and the typical one is worth £102k.
107 of them expire within twelve months, and 36 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 50% of this market back in play inside a year.
198 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 12% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
18 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 The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire (19), Defence Equipment and Support (14), Leeds City Council (11).
The contracts here are most often held by OPREMA LIMITED (11), YESSS (B) ELECTRICAL LTD (10), NORBAIN HOLDINGS LIMITED (9).
