What this market looks like
27 security, fire and defence contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £6.0m between them. They are held across 19 buyers, and the typical one is worth £93k.
16 of them expire within twelve months, and 4 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 59% of this market back in play inside a year.
24 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 19% 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 and Crime Commissioner for Surrey (4), Ministry of Defence (3), The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex (3).
The contracts here are most often held by REVOLUTION AIR SERVICES LTD (2), Mehler Vario System GmbH (2), FORTUS ENGLAND & WALES LIMITED (1).
