This Q4 2025 edition of the VPPipeline Market Pulse presents a market overview based on 94 newly identified transactions and a forecast of 458 expiringcontracts emerging over the next 24 months. The current transaction landscape is headlined by major ‘Staffing & Hiring’ framework agreements, including significant awards from Politie Nederland (<€1.2B) and Belastingdienst (<€983M), alongside a substantial (<€504M) Assets & Licensing contract for ProRail.
While huge public tenders dominate the recent transaction volume, our expiration analysis highlights a different focus for the upcoming pipeline. The data indicates that ‘Managed Services & Outsourcing’ represents the largest share (50%) of contracts expiring within the next two years, followed by Assets & Licensing (28%).
