What this market looks like
17 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £50m between them. They are held across 11 buyers, and the typical one is worth £127k.
11 of them expire within twelve months, and 6 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 65% of this market back in play inside a year.
20 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 15% 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 ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH AGENCY (4), Natural England (2), Notting Hill Genesis (2).
The contracts here are most often held by Naib (1), Niab (1), Livetec System Limited (1).
