What this market looks like
42 grounds, forestry and horticulture contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £12m between them. They are held across 12 buyers, and the typical one is worth £180k.
12 of them expire within twelve months, and 3 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 29% of this market back in play inside a year.
44 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.
13 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 Cyngor Gwynedd (8), Natural Resources Wales (8), Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government (7).
The contracts here are most often held by Camddwr Contractors Cyf (6), Countrywide Grounds Maintenance Ltd (5), A E & A T Lewis Ltd (4).

Regions come from the buyer's published NUTS code, which is the location of the buying authority rather than always the place the work happens. Contract end dates are published by buyers on contract details notices. Re-tender windows are computed estimates, not announcements.
