How big a buyer is Hyndburn?
Hyndburn is a small non-metropolitan district in Lancashire, covering 28.2 square miles with a population of around 81,000. But even smaller councils spend real money. Our dataset covers £36.6 million in recorded spend across 19,298 transactions, drawn from 101 source files and spanning 2016 to 2026. That works out to roughly £450 per resident in tracked payments, which gives you a sense of the purchasing volume flowing through this borough. We have matched 1,018 suppliers to company records, spread across 20 sector categories. The council also has 4 published contracts worth a combined £10.25 million and 11 tenders valued at £1.1 million. For a district this size, the transaction count is decent. If you are sizing up Hyndburn as a potential customer, the spend is there, though it is concentrated in a few areas we will get to next.
Construction dominates, and a handful of firms take the lion's share
Construction is the clear heavyweight here. Of the spending records we hold, construction firms account for 31.7% of matched spend, pulling in £18.9 million. Krol Corlett Construction leads the pack at £10.25 million, and Morgan Sindall adds another £4.3 million. Between those two firms alone, you are looking at nearly 40% of all recorded spend. Professional and technical services come second at 14.9%, with education-classified suppliers third at 13.1%, largely driven by Alliance Leisure Services at £7.7 million. Concentration is moderate. An HHI of 649 is low, meaning spend is not locked up by one or two dominant players. But the top 5 identified suppliers still command 51.7% of recorded spend, and the top 10 take 60.1%. So while 975 suppliers have received payments, the money clusters at the top. Arts and recreation also stands out at 6.7%, with Hyndburn Leisure pulling £3.9 million.
How open is the front door?
Our procurement records for Hyndburn include 1 above-threshold contract awarded through an open procedure. It carried a value of £10.25 million, so it was a large piece of work. On the tender side, there are 11 published tenders worth £1.1 million combined, which points to a pipeline of smaller opportunities. The bulk of what we know about Hyndburn comes from its payment transactions rather than published contract notices. With 19,298 individual payments across a decade of data, you can build a detailed picture of who gets paid and how often, alongside formal contract records. Source data comes from both Find a Tender and the council's own website. If you are tracking upcoming work here, the tender pipeline is worth watching, but the payment data is where the real intelligence sits for understanding this council's buying patterns.
