What this market looks like
28 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £5.2m between them. They are held across 20 buyers, and the typical one is worth £84k.
16 of them expire within twelve months, and 5 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 57% of this market back in play inside a year.
26 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 23% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
5 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 Totton and Eling Town Council (5), Reigate and Banstead Borough Council (3), Amplius Living (2).
The contracts here are most often held by KR Commercial Ltd. (3), Anti-Graffiti Systems Limited (2), JOE COURT FORESTRY LTD (2).
