What this market looks like
16 security, fire and defence contracts in West Midlands carry a published end date, worth £3.6m between them. They are held across 11 buyers, and the typical one is worth £150k.
4 of them expire within twelve months, and 2 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 25% of this market back in play inside a year.
13 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 38% 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 MIDLAND HEART LIMITED (3), West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS FT (2), Connexus Homes Limited (2).
The contracts here are most often held by MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED (2), Sureserve Compliance Fire Limited (2), ARCO LIMITED (2).
