What this market looks like
10 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts in East of England carry a published end date, worth £2.6m between them. They are held across 8 buyers, and the typical one is worth £229k.
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 20% of this market back in play inside a year.
12 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 36% 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 Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk (2), Stevenage Borough Council (2), Braintree District Council (1).
The contracts here are most often held by Vegetation Management Services Ltd (2), S H Goss &Co Ltd (2), SKIPPERS GROUND MAINTENANCE LIMITED (1).
