Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council sought suppliers for cleaning products and hygiene consumables to supply establishments within Ceredigion county. The procurement, classified under goods, followed an open procedure in accordance with Welsh devolved regulations. The tender initiated on 25th July 2025, with the submission of tenders closing on 1st September 2025. The contract was awarded to Banner Group Ltd for a gross amount of £194,106, starting on 18th November 2025 and potentially extendable up to 17th November 2029. Unfortunately, following the award, the contract was cancelled due to questions over evaluation criteria on 26th November 2025—highlighting the procurement stage challenges.

This tender initially provided significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in cleaning and hygiene products. With an emphasis on product consistency, lead times, and environmental impact, suppliers with strong logistics and product quality assurance were well-suited for competition. The open procedure encouraged participation from SMEs, evidenced by the three final stage bids from small to medium-sized enterprises. However, the opportunity was curtailed by the cancellation of the contract award due to evaluation criteria challenges, suggesting lessons in bid assessments and contract clarity.
