Security, fire and defence contracts expiring in East Midlands: 29 worth £4.9m

29 security, fire and defence contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £4.9m between them. They are held across 10 buyers, and the typical one is worth £65k.

15 of them expire within twelve months, and 5 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 52% of this market back in play inside a year.

31 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 18% 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 The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire (19), The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire (2), Newark And Sherwood District Council (1).

The contracts here are most often held by Safe Partnership Limited (2), DeterTech UK Limited (2), Draeger Safety UK Ltd (2).
