What this market looks like
13 software and information systems contracts in Northern Ireland carry a published end date, worth £9.9m between them. They are held across 9 buyers, and the typical one is worth £140k.
3 of them expire within twelve months, and 1 is already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 23% of this market back in play inside a year.
11 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 39% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

The contracts here are most often held by CORE Financial Systems Limited (3), SKIN ANALYTICS LTD (1), SANS SOUCI CONSULTING LIMITED (1).
