I think people will start to see some interesting results with councils and PTEs having the purse strings tightened somewhat... This has started to be shown already with GCT winning what work they have, and I have heard rumours of them winning some of the school contracts but not had any confirmation yet
I personally think it'll go the other way, and the big boys will start to review their low cost operating models, with a view of making them more efficient. This will enable them to place even lower cost bids. The last thing they want is another operator getting a footing in the market through a load of PTE contracts.
