What this market looks like
48 vehicles and transport equipment contracts in South West England carry a published end date, worth £139m between them. They are held across 21 buyers, and the typical one is worth £80k.
35 of them expire within twelve months, and 10 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 73% of this market back in play inside a year.
45 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.
1 is a framework 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 Defence Equipment and Support (8), UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) (6), Torridge District Council (5).
The contracts here are most often held by DENNIS EAGLE LIMITED (2), Boxtor Ltd (2), PLANET OCEAN LIMITED (2).
