Grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts expiring in North West England: 27 worth £28m

27 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £28m between them. They are held across 16 buyers, and the typical one is worth £191k.

12 of them expire within twelve months, and 1 is already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 44% of this market back in play inside a year.

22 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 29% 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 Lancashire County Council (9), Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire (2), Greater Manchester Combined Authority (2).

The contracts here are most often held by RESOURCE RECYCLING SOLUTIONS LIMITED (4), S.E.D. SERVICES LIMITED (3), James Heyes & Sons (2).
