Transport services contracts expiring in North West England: 40 worth £185m

40 transport services contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £185m between them. They are held across 17 buyers, and the typical one is worth £169k.

27 of them expire within twelve months, and 7 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 68% of this market back in play inside a year.

41 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 26% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

7 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 Cumberland Council (10), Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (5), Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (5).

The contracts here are most often held by STAGECOACH (NORTH WEST) LIMITED (10), APEX MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LTD (4), COMPUTER CAB (LIVERPOOL) LIMITED (3).
