What this market looks like
25 mining and metals contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £130m between them. They are held across 17 buyers, and the typical one is worth £100k.
14 of them expire within twelve months, and 7 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 56% of this market back in play inside a year.
36 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 8% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
3 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 THE GUINNESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (3), Mining Remediation Authority (3), UK Research and Innovation (3).
The contracts here are most often held by AGGRECOM LIMITED (1), A R AGGREGATES LIMITED (1), DRAGON ASPHALT LTD (1).
