What this market looks like
109 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts in South East England carry a published end date, worth £119m between them. They are held across 65 buyers, and the typical one is worth £96k.
50 of them expire within twelve months, and 18 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 46% of this market back in play inside a year.
104 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 9% 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 South Downs National Park Authority (7), OXFORD DIRECT SERVICES LIMITED (6), Kent County Council (5).
The contracts here are most often held by BIFFA WASTE SERVICES LIMITED (4), Ling Metals Limited (3), YBC Cleaning Services Limited (3).
