Is there a website or dealer that concentrates on contemporary counterfeits of UK coinage ?

I'm aware of works on evasion coppers but not on later copper or silver coinage.

I don't know of a website, but as an alternative approach,
it may well be worth collecting a couple examples of as many different forgeries as possible, just for a good numismatic education in learning how to identify them.

Use this experience in other areas of collecting of modern coins.

I don't know if this site is still active, but there is this one, which is all about contemporary silver forgeries. The owner used to hang around some of the coin fora:

Most collectors have a few counterfeits in addition to their collections. Counterfeits have been made as long as there has been coinage and some are definitely better than others. Here is a random selection from my collection:
