£167 million over 14 years: what does that buy you?
Bromsgrove District Council serves around 100,600 people across 83.8 square miles in Worcestershire. It's a non-metropolitan district, so the scope of services is narrower than a unitary or county council. But the spending adds up. Our data covers £167 million in recorded spend across 32,135 transactions, drawn from 123 source files and spanning 2012 to 2026. That works out to roughly £12 million a year on average, though year-to-year figures will vary. On the tenders side, we've tracked 13 published tenders with a combined value of £2.3 million. Separately, we hold 7 published contracts, though none carry a recorded value. The council publishes through procontract.due-north.com and Find a Tender, and our most recent collection was in December 2025. For a district council of this size, the transaction volume is solid and gives a reasonable picture of buying activity.
A golf company tops the supplier list?
Yes, really. Worcestershire County Golf Limited sits at the top of the identified suppliers with £25.5 million in recorded spend, accounting for around 15% of the total. That's an unusual profile and likely reflects a leisure management arrangement rather than a simple procurement. Behind them, Speller Metcalfe (£8.4 million) and Morgan Sindall (£7.5 million) point to construction and facilities work. Across the 1,108 suppliers we've matched, concentration is low. The HHI sits at 861, well inside unconcentrated territory, and the top five suppliers account for 48.4% of spend. Arts, entertainment and recreation takes the biggest sector share at 26.8%, driven almost entirely by that golf contract. Professional and technical services follow at 18.1% with 144 identified suppliers, making it one of the most competitive sectors by supplier count. Admin support and IT each sit around 8%, with wholesale and construction trailing at roughly 5% each.
How open is the front door here?
This is where the picture gets thinner. Of the 7 contracts we hold, none include procurement method data, so we can't break down how much goes through open tender versus direct award. The 13 tenders worth £2.3 million give you a sense of what's been formally advertised, but that's a small window into a council spending £12 million a year. Without method distribution data, it's hard to say whether Bromsgrove favours competition or leans on established relationships. What you can see from the supplier data is that spend is spread across a large base. Having over 1,100 identified suppliers for a district council of this size suggests the council isn't funnelling everything through a handful of providers. If you're looking at Bromsgrove, the transaction-level data is where the real detail sits, covering over 32,000 individual payments. The published contract and tender records are sparse by comparison.
