How big a buyer is Teignbridge?
Teignbridge is a non-metropolitan district council covering 260 square miles of Devon with a population of around 135,000. It is not a huge buyer, but the spending data we hold is reasonably detailed. Our dataset covers 5,139 transactions across the period 2024 to 2026, sourced from both Find a Tender and the council's own website. We have tracked 23 published contracts worth a combined £326,400 and 30 tenders valued at £6.7 million. The contract figures look modest for a council this size, so the tender pipeline gives you a better sense of where the money is actually heading. Across those transactions we have matched 290 suppliers to Companies House records, giving a solid basis for understanding who is doing business here. If you are looking at Teignbridge as a prospective market, the tender values suggest more active procurement than the contract data alone would indicate.
Professional services and construction take the biggest share
Of the spend we have matched to sectors, professional, scientific and technical activities accounts for 32.8%, pulling in £1.16 million across 39 identified suppliers. Construction follows at 17.2% with £607,832 from 31 suppliers. Admin and support services and wholesale and retail trade each sit around 11%, making the top four sectors responsible for roughly 72% of recorded spend. The top supplier in our data is Comensura Limited at £474,926, an agency staffing intermediary. Haywood Crushing Demolition follows at £308,000, then Post Office Limited at £304,254. Concentration is low overall, with an HHI of 499. The top five suppliers account for 43.5% of matched spend, and the top ten for 59.4%. With 280 unique suppliers across 21 sectors, the spend is spread fairly wide. That said, three of the top ten suppliers sit in the professional services category, so that sector carries more weight than the others.
An even split between open and direct, but what does the pipeline look like?
The procurement method data we hold for Teignbridge is thin but telling. Of the two contracts with method data, one was a direct award and one went through open tender. The median contract value sits at £163,200. That is a small sample, so it is hard to draw firm conclusions about procurement preferences from the contract data alone. The tender pipeline is more interesting. With 30 tenders worth £6.7 million on record, there is clearly active procurement happening. Teignbridge is also a member of the LHC Procurement Group, a consortium open to all public sector bodies, which may channel some purchasing through framework agreements rather than standalone tenders. One above-threshold contract and one below-threshold contract have been recorded, so both smaller and larger opportunities come through. If you are bidding in Devon, the tender activity here suggests this council is worth watching, even if the published contract record is still building up.
