Transport services contracts expiring in Wales: 35 worth £54m

35 transport services contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £54m between them. They are held across 20 buyers, and the typical one is worth £197k.

14 of them expire within twelve months, and 1 is already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 40% of this market back in play inside a year.

63 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 12% 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 Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council (5), Cardiff University (3), City & County of Swansea (3).

The contracts here are most often held by Lewis Taxis Cyf (3), Edwards Coaches (3), Gwyn Jones (3).
