How big a buyer is Mansfield?
Mansfield District Council covers 29.7 square miles and a population of around 109,000 in Nottinghamshire. Our data shows £24.1 million in recorded spend across 6,791 transactions from 2023 to 2026, drawn from three source files including the council's own website and Find a Tender. For a non-metropolitan district, that is a reasonable volume of transactional activity. We've tracked 11 published contracts worth a combined £1.6 million and 21 tenders valued at £2.8 million. The council is also a member of Efficiency East Midlands (EEM), a consortium open to all public sector bodies. If you're looking at frameworks and collaborative procurement routes in this region, that membership could be relevant. Across the 447 suppliers we've matched to company records, spend is spread widely rather than being funnelled through a handful of large providers.
Construction dominates, but the supplier base is wide open
Of the spending we've matched to identified suppliers, construction takes the largest share at 27.6%, with £4.7 million going to 40 firms. Matthews and Tannert sit at the top with £2.5 million, followed by J Wright Roofing at £630,000 and Parkin Contractors at £289,000. Wholesale and retail trade comes second at 18.5%, where Fleet Factors (£960,000) and Total Plumbing Supplies (£583,000) are the main names. But here's the thing: concentration is low. An HHI of 363 is unconcentrated, and the top five suppliers account for just 31.1% of recorded spend. The top ten take 42.8%. That suggests Mansfield spreads its money around rather than relying on a small pool of go-to firms. With 438 unique suppliers across 21 sectors, the supplier base is broad for a district council of this size.
Three above-threshold contracts, all openly tendered
Our procurement data for Mansfield covers three above-threshold contracts, and all three went through open procedure. No direct awards in the set we hold. The median contract value across these sits at £500,000, so these are mid-range opportunities rather than major capital projects. On the tender side, we've tracked 21 notices worth a combined £2.8 million, which gives a sense of the pipeline. Administrative and support services (9.9% of spend), manufacturing (9.8%), and IT (8.7%) fill out the mid-table behind construction and wholesale. NEC Software Solutions appears at rank seven with £415,000, the main IT supplier we can see. One curiosity in the data: Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club sits at rank five with £569,000 in spend, likely tied to sponsorship or venue hire rather than traditional procurement. If you are targeting Mansfield, the open tendering pattern and low concentration suggest a council that tests the market regularly.
