What this market looks like
75 waste, cleaning and environmental contracts in West Midlands carry a published end date, worth £63m between them. They are held across 35 buyers, and the typical one is worth £117k.
30 of them expire within twelve months, and 11 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 40% of this market back in play inside a year.
66 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 19% 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 Staffordshire County Council (16), ASTON UNIVERSITY (5), GREENSQUAREACCORD LIMITED (4).
The contracts here are most often held by SUEZ RECYCLING AND RECOVERY UK LTD (6), BIFFA WASTE SERVICES LIMITED (5), VEOLIA ES (UK) LIMITED (4).
