Grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts expiring in the UK: 305 worth £146m
Every grounds, forestry and horticulture contract held by a UK public body that has a published end date. The re-tender window is computed from the end date and the buyer's own lead times, so you can approach them while the incumbent still holds it.

What this market looks like
305 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £146m between them. They are held across 147 buyers, and the typical one is worth £106k.
127 of them expire within twelve months, and 39 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 42% of this market back in play inside a year.
303 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 5% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
71 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 Peak District National Park Authority (15), Staffordshire County Council (13), Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (12).
The contracts here are most often held by Kieran McGirr (8), CROPPER GROUNDS MAINTENANCE LTD (7), Camddwr Contractors Cyf (6).
