What this market looks like
12 agriculture, farming and fishing contracts in Northern Ireland carry a published end date, worth £5.5m between them. They are held across 10 buyers, and the typical one is worth £200k.
4 of them expire within twelve months, and 1 is already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 33% of this market back in play inside a year.
14 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 27% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
2 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so part of this market is reached by getting onto a supplier list first and competing for call-offs afterwards.
The most active buyers are Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council (2), Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (2), Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (1).
The contracts here are most often held by PENTLAND PLANTS LIMITED (2), SANS SOUCI CONSULTING LIMITED (1), Jig Saw Farm Community Interest Company (1).
