What this market looks like
179 software and information systems contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £105m between them. They are held across 68 buyers, and the typical one is worth £58k.
92 of them expire within twelve months, and 12 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 51% of this market back in play inside a year.
173 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 10% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
12 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 Halton Borough Council (12), MERSEY AND WEST LANCASHIRE TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUST (9), University of Salford (8).
The contracts here are most often held by SOFTCAT PLC (10), ONEADVANCED LIMITED (8), PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED (8).
