Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council has concluded the procurement process for its "Highway Verge & Hedge Cutting with Tractor and Flail" project, establishing a framework to provide grass cutting services on verges, roundabouts, and visibility areas throughout the county's urban and rural regions. This project is classified under the hiring of agricultural machinery with an operator within the services industry category, primarily located in Carmarthenshire.
