How much does North Warwickshire actually spend?
North Warwickshire is a small borough council serving around 65,000 people across 110 square miles of rural Warwickshire. Our data covers £19.6 million in recorded spend across 2,808 transactions, drawn from 11 source files spanning 2021 to 2026. That works out to roughly £3.9 million a year, which fits the profile of a non-metropolitan district with limited statutory responsibilities. The spending data comes from both the council's own publications and Find a Tender notices. Across those 2,808 transactions, we have matched 229 individual suppliers, giving a decent picture of where the money flows. Five tenders worth a combined £304,820 have been published in the period. If you are weighing up whether to track this council, the volume is modest but steady, and the data goes back far enough to show recurring spending patterns.
Construction dominates, but who else is getting paid?
Construction firms account for 37% of matched spend, pulling in £3.4 million across 31 identified suppliers. Wates Construction leads the pack at £1.5 million, followed by Dodd Group (Midlands) at £989,000 and SH French Developments at £385,000. That is three construction firms in the top six. Professional and technical services sit second at 17.3%, with Comensura (£758,000) and Westbrook Waste (£510,000) making up the bulk. Manufacturing comes third at 11.2%, driven largely by Farid Hillend Engineering at £785,000. The top five suppliers account for 49.5% of matched spend, and the top ten for 65.3%. An HHI of 637 puts this in unconcentrated territory, so while the biggest names take a good share, spending is spread reasonably wide. Beyond construction and professional services, wholesale and retail trade picks up 9.2%, and IT and comms takes 5.1%.
What does the procurement pipeline look like?
The payment transactions carry the story here. The contract register records one contract without a stated value, so the 2,808 transactions across 229 suppliers are the stronger guide to how this council spends. Five published tenders worth £304,820 in total point to relatively low-value opportunities coming through the formal tender route. The rest of what we know comes from payment records rather than structured contract notices. Those payments show money moving regularly across a broad supplier base. For bid managers, the payment data is probably more useful than the contract register at this council. It shows who is already in the door and how much they are getting paid. Capita Business Services appears at £242,000 for IT and comms, while Nottingham City Couriers picks up £259,000 in transportation. Whether those relationships started through competition or direct engagement, the spending records do not say.
