What this market looks like
862 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts across the UK carry a published end date, worth £4.7bn between them. They are held across 417 buyers, and the typical one is worth £132k.
375 of them expire within twelve months, and 117 are 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.
804 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 3% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
82 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 (21), ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (18), DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS (17).
The contracts here are most often held by BIFFA WASTE SERVICES LIMITED (14), VEOLIA ES (UK) LIMITED (8), RIVER RIDGE RECYCLING (PORTADOWN) LTD (8).
