What this market looks like
147 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts in London carry a published end date, worth £204m between them. They are held across 69 buyers, and the typical one is worth £158k.
74 of them expire within twelve months, and 21 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 50% of this market back in play inside a year.
169 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.
11 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 ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (18), DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS (17), Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (7).
The contracts here are most often held by JULIUS RUTHERFOORD & CO. LTD. (2), T Gilmartin Ltd (2), LONDON DRAINAGE FACILITIES LIMITED (2).
