Grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts expiring in East Midlands: 33 worth £16m

33 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts in East Midlands carry a published end date, worth £16m between them. They are held across 14 buyers, and the typical one is worth £127k.

9 of them expire within twelve months, and 2 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 27% of this market back in play inside a year.

37 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 16% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

15 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so a large 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), Leicestershire County Council (4), THE NATIONAL FOREST COMPANY (3).

The contracts here are most often held by George Walker tree care ltd (3), UPLAND ENVIRONMENTAL LTD (2), AITCH CONSERVATION LTD (2).
