Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by the City & County of Swansea involved an open competition for the supply and installation of three new waste compactors at Household Waste Recycling Centres. This falls under the industrial machinery and refuse management services industry categories. Located in Swansea, within the UKL18 region, the procurement was part of a below-threshold, open competition and reached the contract award stage on 9th January 2026. The tender was initially published on 24th September 2025, with an enquiry period that ended on 17th October 2025 and a submission deadline on 24th October 2025. The awarded contract, now active, was signed with Thetford International Compactors Service Limited and is scheduled to run until July 2026.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial machinery and waste management solutions. Companies with experience in delivering, installing, and maintaining large machinery would be particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process underscores the necessity for SMEs and those familiar with Welsh regulations to engage with sub-central government projects, offering a path to securing public sector contracts that require both technical precision and comprehensive service support, including ongoing maintenance and operator training. This represents an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to expand their footprint in public sector waste management services.
