What this market looks like
39 vehicles and transport equipment contracts in East of England carry a published end date, worth £44m between them. They are held across 25 buyers, and the typical one is worth £228k.
17 of them expire within twelve months, and 2 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 44% of this market back in play inside a year.
45 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.
2 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 Mid Suffolk District Council (5), Hertfordshire County Council (3), THE FELIXSTOWE DOCK AND RAILWAY COMPANY (3).
The contracts here are most often held by MELLOR BUS LTD (2), ENDURANCE VEHICLE SOLUTIONS LIMITED (2), LOOKERS MOTOR GROUP LIMITED (2).
