What this market looks like
99 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts in North West England carry a published end date, worth £160m between them. They are held across 47 buyers, and the typical one is worth £248k.
42 of them expire within twelve months, and 11 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 42% of this market back in play inside a year.
83 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 10% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
10 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), Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (7), Bolton at Home Limited (5).
The contracts here are most often held by RESOURCE RECYCLING SOLUTIONS LIMITED (4), ENVIROFUEL (SRF) LTD (4), S.E.D. SERVICES LIMITED (3).
