£217 million from a district council. Where is it all going?
Wyre is a non-metropolitan district in Lancashire, population 113,000, covering about 109 square miles of the Fylde coast. For a district council, the recorded spend is striking. Our data covers £217 million across 15,946 transactions from 2021 to 2026, drawn from 32 source files. That is a large volume of payment data for a borough of this size. Much of it is explained by a single line item, which we will get to shortly. On the tender side, we hold 18 published tenders collectively valued at £70 million, sourced from Find a Tender and the council's own website. We have matched 445 suppliers to company records across 21 sectors, giving a reasonable view of where the money flows. If you are looking at Wyre, the first thing to understand is how concentrated the spending is. This is not a council that spreads its budget thinly.
One supplier dominates. Is there room for anyone else?
Lancashire County Care Ltd accounts for £122 million of Wyre's recorded spend. That single supplier, classified under health and social work, makes up well over half of everything we have tracked. The next largest, Balfour Beatty, sits at £6.8 million for construction work. Then Veolia at £3.8 million, D. Parkinson at £3 million, and Associated British Ports at £2.5 million. The top five suppliers between them account for 92.2% of matched spend, and the HHI score is 6,656, which is extremely concentrated. Health and social work as a sector takes 81.4% of all recorded spend across 15 identified suppliers. Construction follows at 5.6% with 32 suppliers, then financial services and real estate in the low single digits. Outside those top categories, the spend fragments quickly. IT, professional services, and wholesale each sit below 1.5%, spread across 47 to 57 suppliers apiece.
How does Wyre actually buy things?
Our contract and tender data for Wyre is relatively light on procurement method detail. Of the 14 contracts we hold, none carry a recorded contract value, so we cannot break down contract sizes or method distribution from that angle. The tenders tell a different story. Eighteen published tenders worth a combined £70 million give you a clearer picture of what is coming to market. Both Find a Tender and Wyre's own procurement pages feed into our dataset here. With 430 unique suppliers across those 15,946 transactions, there is clearly an active supplier base. But the concentration numbers tell you most of those suppliers are picking up relatively small amounts. Beyond the top ten, which captures 94.2% of matched spend, the remaining 420-odd suppliers share less than 6% between them. For anyone looking at Wyre, the tender pipeline is probably the more useful starting point than the historical contract records.
