What this market looks like
1,564 software and information systems contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £915m between them. They are held across 515 buyers, and the typical one is worth £51k.
905 of them expire within twelve months, and 162 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 58% of this market back in play inside a year.
1,231 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 4% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
37 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 UK Research and Innovation (96), Coventry University (37), National Highways Limited (36).
The contracts here are most often held by SOFTCAT PLC (31), PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED (24), ONEADVANCED LIMITED (15).
