How big a buyer is Gosport?
Gosport is a compact borough, just 9.7 square miles on the western shore of Portsmouth Harbour, with a population of around 84,700. But the spending data tells a story of a council that moves real money. Our records show £341 million across 37,746 transactions, drawn from 174 source files and spanning 2011 to 2026. That works out to roughly £22.7 million a year on average, though the actual distribution will be uneven. We have matched 1,124 suppliers to company records across those transactions. For a non-metropolitan district of this size, that volume of transactional data gives you a solid base to work from when assessing where the money flows. The data comes from three sources: Gosport's own website, the ProContract portal, and Find a Tender. On the formal procurement side, we hold 18 published contracts and 25 tenders worth a combined £100,000 in stated tender value.
Construction dominates, and two suppliers lead the pack
Five of the top ten identified suppliers sit in construction, and the sector accounts for 43.2% of all matched spend at £38.6 million. P.J. Building Maintenance leads the field with £25.5 million, more than the next four suppliers combined. Kier Group follows at £14.1 million, classified under professional and technical services. Together those two account for a big chunk of what Gosport spends. Professional and technical activities come in second overall at 26.1% of spend, with 158 matched suppliers, making it the most fragmented sector by supplier count. The concentration picture is mixed. The HHI sits at 1,159, which is unconcentrated, but the top five suppliers still command 56.8% of spend and the top ten take 64.7%. So while there are 1,083 identified suppliers in the data, the money clusters at the top. If you're outside construction or professional services, the remaining sectors each take less than 5%.
What does the procurement route actually look like?
This is where the Gosport picture gets thinner. Of the 18 contracts we hold, none carry method-of-award data, and there is no breakdown between above-threshold and below-threshold procurements in our records. Median contract value is not available either, so we cannot profile contract size from the formal procurement data alone. What we do have is 25 tenders with a stated value of £100,000, which points to mostly lower-value opportunities being advertised through the formal channel. The bulk of Gosport's spending activity sits in the transactional payment data rather than in structured contract notices. That means the 37,746 payment records are your best window into who actually gets paid and how much. Looking at the sector spread across those payments, construction and professional services take nearly 70% between them, with IT, admin support, and manufacturing each sitting in the 4% to 5% range. No consortium arrangements appear in the data we hold.
