What this market looks like
13 security, fire and defence contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £737m between them. They are held across 8 buyers, and the typical one is worth £204k.
10 of them expire within twelve months, and 6 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 77% of this market back in play inside a year.
19 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.
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 Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority (3), Sellafield Limited (3), Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (2).
The contracts here are most often held by 2T Security Ltd (1), 3M United Kingdom Plc (1), AccuLink Technology Ltd (1).
