How much is Hinckley and Bosworth actually spending?
For a non-metropolitan district of around 114,000 people in Leicestershire, Hinckley and Bosworth is a mid-sized buyer. Our data covers 7,705 transactions spanning 2023 to 2026, drawn from 12 source files. Across those transactions, we've matched 427 suppliers to Companies House records, giving a decent picture of where the money goes. On the contracts side, we hold 7 published contracts worth a combined £1.25 million, plus 6 tenders valued at £14.1 million. The tender pipeline suggests bigger-ticket procurement activity than the contract records alone would indicate. If you're scoping this council as a potential customer, those tender values give you a better sense of the deal sizes in play. The median contract value sits at around £449,000, so this is not a council dealing in pocket change, even if volumes are modest.
Construction dominates, but one health supplier leads the pack
Leicestershire County Care Limited tops the identified supplier list with £7.1 million in recorded spend, accounting for a large share of the health and social work category. That sector takes 26.1% of matched spend overall, though it's driven by just 6 suppliers. Construction is the other major story here. Six of the next nine top suppliers are construction firms: Cornerstone, Novus Property Solutions, B. Jarvis Roofing, Robert Heath Heating, Onyx Windows, and Matthews & Tannert. Together, construction accounts for 22.2% of spend across 52 identified suppliers. Admin services and professional services follow at 10.3% and 8.7% respectively. Market concentration is low, with an HHI of 719 and the top five suppliers holding 39% of matched spend. The top ten account for 53.1%. So while there's a clear leader, spending is reasonably spread across the supplier base of 426 identified companies.
All open tenders, no direct awards in sight
Of the 3 contracts where we have procurement method data, all three went through open competition. Two sit above the procurement threshold and one below. Across those three, the picture is clean: no direct awards, no restricted procedures. If that pattern holds, it suggests a council that routes its procurement through competitive processes rather than defaulting to incumbent suppliers. The 6 tenders on record are worth a combined £14.1 million, all sourced from Find a Tender Service. For a borough council, that pipeline is worth watching. Contract sizes vary, but the median of £449,000 puts typical opportunities firmly in SME territory. And with 52 construction suppliers already in the mix, that sector clearly sees repeat commissioning activity. Whether future tenders follow the same open approach is something to keep an eye on as more data comes through.
