How big a buyer is Basingstoke and Deane?
Basingstoke and Deane is a non-metropolitan district in Hampshire covering 244.8 square miles with a population of around 177,800. Our dataset covers £111.4 million in recorded spend across 40,638 transactions, drawn from 64 source files and spanning 2019 to 2026. That works out at roughly £16 million a year on average, though spend will not be evenly distributed. We've matched 993 suppliers from those payment records, giving a decent view of where the money goes. For a district council, the transaction volume is healthy. The data is sourced from basingstoke.gov.uk and Find a Tender, collected up to November 2025. On the tender side, 43 published tenders carry a combined value of £205.9 million, which suggests some large procurements are either live or recently closed. If you're prospecting here, there is clearly activity to work with.
A M Developments and a long tail of 950 suppliers
The spend profile here is top-heavy but not locked up. Our data shows the top five identified suppliers account for 51.6% of matched spend, with an HHI of 850, which is unconcentrated. A M Developments leads with £20.3 million, followed by Basildon District Council at £11.6 million (likely a shared services or partnership arrangement) and DLA Piper at £7.1 million for legal services. Serco and Matrix SCM round out the top five with outsourcing and staffing spend. Beyond the top tier, 952 identified suppliers share the remaining 48.4%, so there is a genuine long tail. Sector-wise, professional and technical services (156 suppliers, £7.1 million) and admin support (108 suppliers, £6.9 million) are the busiest categories by supplier count. Construction pulls in £5.7 million across 66 suppliers. Arts and recreation spending of £3.5 million reflects the council's support for The Anvil Trust, Basingstoke's concert venue.
What does the tender pipeline actually look like?
Contract-level data from Basingstoke and Deane is thin in our records, with 37 contracts tracked but no published contract values or procurement method breakdowns available. That limits what we can say about how they buy at the contract level. The tender side tells a better story. Those 43 tenders are worth a combined £205.9 million, which points to some large individual procurements in the mix. For context, the council's annual recorded spend sits around £16 million, so the tender pipeline includes multi-year or high-value frameworks. Without method distribution data, we can't tell you the split between open competition and direct awards. What we can see is that the supplier base is broad. Having 952 identified suppliers across a district council suggests the door is not closed to new entrants. The question for anyone looking at this council is whether those large tenders are frameworks you can still bid into or contracts already awarded.
