How much does a Surrey district actually spend?
Mole Valley is a non-metropolitan district in Surrey, population around 87,500, covering just under 100 square miles. Our data shows £26.5 million in recorded spend across 4,657 transactions, drawn from 21 source files and spanning 2018 to 2026. That works out to roughly £3.3 million a year on average, which feels about right for a district council of this size. The payment data comes from molevalleydc.sharepoint.com and Find a Tender, collected up to November 2025. We have matched 345 suppliers across those transactions. On the contracts side, we hold 13 published contracts, while 17 tenders are recorded with a combined value of £298 million. If you are scanning for opportunities in the South East, this is a modestly sized buyer. But district councils can be easier to build relationships with than larger authorities, and the spending here is steady across multiple years rather than lumpy or one-off.
Professional services firms dominate, but nobody owns this market
Across the spending records we hold, professional, scientific and technical activities accounts for 20.7% of matched spend, pulled from 43 identified suppliers. Admin and support services takes 10.6%, and IT and communications sits at 9.4% with 54 suppliers, the most of any sector. The top supplier, Maier Partnership, accounts for £769,000. Stiles Harold Williams Partnership follows at £504,000, then Freeths LLP at £439,000. Construction, waste management and real estate each sit in the 5-6% range. What stands out is how spread out the money is. The HHI score is just 266, well into unconcentrated territory. The top five suppliers together hold 28.8% of recorded spend, and the top ten account for 42.7%. No single supplier is running away with this council's budget. For anyone looking at Mole Valley, competition among suppliers appears broad rather than locked down by a few incumbents.
What does the tender pipeline actually look like?
Here is where things get interesting. We have tracked 17 tenders with a combined value of £298 million, which is a large number relative to the annual payment spend. That likely reflects multi-year frameworks or joint procurements published through Find a Tender. The 13 contracts we hold carry no recorded contract value in our dataset, so the tender figures give you the better read on pipeline scale. Procurement method breakdowns are not available in the data we hold for Mole Valley, so we cannot split out open tenders from direct awards or restricted procedures. That is a gap if you are trying to gauge how open the council's buying process is in practice. What we can say is that the broad supplier base, 335 identified suppliers across 21 sectors, points to a council that spreads work around. Whether that pattern holds for larger contracts is something you would want to verify through the individual tender records.
