A decade of spend data, and it adds up fast
North Lincolnshire is a unitary authority covering 327 square miles in the Humber region, serving around 173,000 people. Our dataset covers £151 million in recorded spend across 216,580 transactions, drawn from 77 source files spanning 2016 to 2026. That's a solid window into how this council buys. The data comes from two sources: the council's own website and Find a Tender, collected up to November 2025. We've matched 3,804 suppliers against Companies House records, giving you a good read on who's actually receiving the money. On the tenders side, we've tracked 113 notices worth a combined £12.9 million. The contract records sit at 108, though these don't carry published values in our data. For a mid-sized unitary, the transaction volume here is worth paying attention to. There's enough activity across enough years to spot patterns in how the council spends.
Professional services and care dominate, but nobody owns this market
The spending is spread wide. Across the 3,676 identified suppliers in our data, the HHI sits at just 767, which is firmly unconcentrated. The top five suppliers account for 36.8% of recorded spend, and even stretching to the top ten only gets you to 44.7%. That's a market with a lot of room. Professional, scientific and technical services takes the largest share at 30.7% of spend (£183 million), with 319 suppliers active in the sector. Health and social care follows at 17.7% (£106 million), and construction comes in third at 9.3% (£56 million). The top supplier is Transwaste Recycling and Aggregates at £24.5 million, a waste management firm. Behind them, four of the next nine are health and social care providers, including Prime Life (£12.6 million), Creative Link Support (£12.3 million), and Amphion Home Care (£9.3 million). If you're in care services, this council clearly has ongoing demand.
What does the procurement pipeline actually look like?
Here's where the picture gets more focused. Of the 113 tenders we've tracked, the combined value sits at £12.9 million. The contract data covers 108 published notices, though the records don't include contract values in this council's published data. That gap between tender value and the £151 million in transaction-level spend is worth noting. It suggests a good deal of purchasing happens through frameworks, call-offs, or smaller transactions that don't trigger formal tender notices. The sector breakdown supports this: with 519 suppliers in wholesale and retail trade alone (accounting for £28.9 million), there's clearly a long tail of lower-value, high-frequency purchasing. Education spending is another interesting thread at £42.3 million across 258 suppliers, with Demeter House pulling in £9.5 million of that. The spread of spend across so many suppliers and sectors points to a council that buys from a broad base rather than relying on a handful of incumbents.
