Transport services contracts expiring in North East England: 144 worth £32m

144 transport services contracts in North East England carry a published end date, worth £32m between them. They are held across 10 buyers, and the typical one is worth £89k.

132 of them expire within twelve months, and 9 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 92% of this market back in play inside a year.

21 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 60% 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 Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive T/A Nexus (123), Tees Valley Combined Authority (11), New College Durham (2).

The contracts here are most often held by Go North East Limited (40), NORTHSTAR CONSTELLATION LIMITED (31), CENTRAL TAXIS GATESHEAD LTD (16).
