What this market looks like
10 sports, games and instruments contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £34m between them. They are held across 8 buyers, and the typical one is worth £61k.
8 of them expire within twelve months, and 5 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 80% of this market back in play inside a year.
9 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 40% of it. That is a concentrated market: displacing an incumbent here means going after one of a small number of established holders.
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 Bristol City Council (3), Bodmin Town Council (1), Plymouth City Council (1).
The contracts here are most often held by WICKSTEED LEISURE LIMITED (2), PHILLIPS AUCTIONEERS LIMITED (1), SOMERSET LANDSCAPES LIMITED (1).
