How much does Tandridge actually spend?
For a non-metropolitan district of around 88,500 people in Surrey, Tandridge pushes a decent volume of spend through its books. Our data covers £361.7 million across 29,372 transactions, drawn from 16 source files spanning 2016 to 2026. That works out to roughly £36 million a year on average, though the actual year-by-year pattern will vary. We hold one published tender valued at £550,000, sourced from Find a Tender alongside the council's own website. There are no published contract records in our dataset, so the payment transaction data is doing all the heavy lifting here. If you're scoping Tandridge as a prospect, the transaction records give you the clearest picture of where the money actually flows. And with data going back nearly a decade, you can trace spending patterns over a meaningful timeframe rather than relying on a single snapshot.
Construction firms are cleaning up here
Tandridge's matched spend is heavily tilted towards construction. Of the 710 suppliers we've matched to company records, 86 sit in the construction sector, and between them they account for 37.7% of spend, around £20.2 million. Seven of the top ten suppliers by spend are construction firms, led by Real Building Contractors (£3.1 million), Paynes Heating and Plumbing (£3.0 million), and Vulcan Ellis Martlet (£2.1 million). But the single biggest recipient is Biffa Waste Services at £8.4 million, pulling the waste management sector to 18.1% of total matched spend. Freeths LLP, a law firm, sits second at £4.7 million. The top five suppliers account for 39.9% of matched spend, with the top ten at 52.2%. An HHI of 464 puts this firmly in unconcentrated territory. Spend is spread across a wide base, not locked up with a handful of incumbents.
Where are the published contracts?
This is a council where the procurement picture is almost entirely drawn from payment data rather than published contract notices. Our dataset holds zero contracts and just a single tender worth £550,000. That means you won't find method-of-award breakdowns or threshold splits in what we've captured. What you can see is where the money goes, and it goes to a lot of different places. With 708 unique suppliers across 20 sectors, Tandridge spreads its spending fairly broadly. Administrative and support services has 100 identified suppliers despite only 7.4% of spend, and professional services has 121 suppliers at 4.4%. Those are fragmented categories with lots of smaller engagements. Construction, by contrast, concentrates more spend in fewer hands. Whether that pattern reflects framework usage, standing lists, or something else entirely is hard to say from the payment data alone. The spending records give you a solid read on who gets paid, even if the formal procurement trail is thin.
