What this market looks like
8 agriculture, farming and fishing contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £3.6m between them. They are held across 7 buyers, and the typical one is worth £156k.
2 of them expire within twelve months, and 1 is already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 25% of this market back in play inside a year.
10 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 30% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
1 is a framework 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 Ministry of Defence (2), Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead (1), Slough Borough Council (1).
The contracts here are most often held by Sorrel Porteous T/A Pentire Sport Horses (1), Barkland Tree Specialists (Arboriculturalists) (1), ARTEMIS TREE SERVICES LIMITED (1).
