How big a buyer is Surrey Heath?
For a non-metropolitan district covering 36.7 square miles and a population of around 89,000, Surrey Heath pushes decent volume. Our data covers £193.7 million in recorded spend across 26,010 transactions, drawn from 110 source files and spanning 2010 to 2026. That is a long window of purchasing data, giving you a solid read on how this council spends over time. On the contracts side, we hold 17 published contracts worth a combined £1.2 million, alongside 29 tenders valued at £8 million. The median contract value sits at about £101,500, so mid-range procurements are the norm here rather than blockbuster deals. If you are looking at Surrey Heath, the transaction-level data is where the real depth lies. With 1,125 suppliers matched from the spending records, there is enough breadth to map out who is active and where the recurring relationships sit.
One supplier towers over the rest
Amey LG Limited accounts for £78.3 million of the matched spend we hold. That single relationship dwarfs everything else. The next four identified suppliers, Glendale Grounds Management, Addleshaw Goddard, Hampshire County Cars, and Verdant Group, collectively account for around £8.9 million. The top five take 69.6% of recorded spend, and the top ten push that to 74%. An HHI of 3,934 confirms what you would expect: this is a highly concentrated market. Administrative and support services dominates the sector breakdown at 68.3% of spend across 126 matched suppliers, driven largely by that Amey relationship. Beyond that, IT and communications (4.7%), construction (4.1%), and professional services (3.9%) each pull in between £4.8 million and £5.9 million. Outside the top tier, the spend fragments quickly across the remaining 1,109 identified suppliers.
Open tenders across the board, but volume is low
Of the 7 contracts where we have procurement method data, every single one was awarded through an open process. No direct awards, no restricted procedures. That is unusual for a council of this size, where you would typically see a mix. The 29 published tenders are worth a combined £8 million, and the pipeline splits between 2 above-threshold and 5 below-threshold contracts in our tracked set. With a median contract value of £101,500, most opportunities fall into that mid-range bracket where competition tends to be accessible for smaller firms. The tender data comes from Find a Tender and the council's own website, both reliable publishing channels. But the contract count we hold is modest, so the open-only pattern could simply reflect what has been published rather than the council's full procurement behaviour. Worth keeping that context in mind when you are sizing up the opportunity.
