What this market looks like
54 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts in Wales carry a published end date, worth £37m between them. They are held across 26 buyers, and the typical one is worth £129k.
29 of them expire within twelve months, and 6 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 54% of this market back in play inside a year.
71 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 8% 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 City & County of Swansea (12), Carmarthenshire County Council (7), Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC (3).
The contracts here are most often held by Lucion Services Limited (2), APT ICC LTD (2), Lancaster University (2).
