What this market looks like
33 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts in Northern Ireland carry a published end date, worth £3.7bn between them. They are held across 15 buyers, and the typical one is worth £680k.
5 of them expire within twelve months, and 2 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 15% of this market back in play inside a year.
23 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 38% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.
