What this market looks like
40 vehicles and transport equipment contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £26m between them. They are held across 26 buyers, and the typical one is worth £173k.
24 of them expire within twelve months, and 13 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 60% of this market back in play inside a year.
41 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 13% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
6 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 Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (4), UNITED UTILITIES WATER LIMITED (3), Cheshire West and Chester Council (3).
The contracts here are most often held by TREKA BUS LIMITED (2), BREEDON TRADING LIMITED (2), TARMAC TRADING LIMITED (2).
