Vehicles and transport equipment contracts expiring in East Midlands: 37 worth £240m

What this market looks like
37 vehicles and transport equipment contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £240m between them. They are held across 16 buyers, and the typical one is worth £150k.
25 of them expire within twelve months, and 6 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.
65 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 10% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
5 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 Leicester City Council (11), Derbyshire County Council (4), The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire (4).
The contracts here are most often held by Broxap Ltd (3), NORTHSIDE TRUCK & VAN LIMITED (2), Surgical Science UK Limited (2).
