Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea conducted an open procurement process for the hire, installation, and de-rig of wooden chalets for the annual Christmas Market event, predominantly located on Oxford Street and Portland Street in Swansea City Centre. The contract, titled "Contract for Hire, installation and de-rig of wooden chalets for Swansea City Centre’s annual Christmas Market event," falls under the services category and adheres to Welsh devolved regulations. The award process was tagged complete as of 11th December 2025. The procurement stage began as a tender with a subsequent contract awarded, commencing on 25th November 2025, and expected to conclude by 24th November 2028, with a possible extension up to 2030. The contract value totals £193,326 gross. Swansea Council, operating as the buyer, used an open competition procurement method, enabling wide participation from potential suppliers.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in event infrastructure, notably those capable of providing and managing temporary accommodation structures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as those in the short-stay accommodation construction sector, can benefit significantly from such engagement. The chosen supplier, Bramwood Timber Products Ltd, exemplified the potential for SMEs to secure contracts in this domain. With the procurement focusing on quality and price, companies that excel in proposal delivery, project management, and customer care are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities, especially those that demonstrate robust health and safety standards. Overall, the contract offers a springboard for businesses looking to enhance their portfolios in public events and construction-related services.
