Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process under consideration involves the City & County of Swansea, acting as the buying organisation, with the procurement focused on the collection and reprocessing of paper and cardboard waste. The tender involves multiple lots, specifically targeting bagged, unbagged, and baled paper and cardboard, aligning with refuse and waste-related services. Located in Swansea, Wales, the procurement process is currently at the award stage, having commenced on 18th February 2026. Key dates include the start of the contract period on 1st March 2026, ending on 29th February 2028, with a potential extension up to February 2033. The procurement follows an open procedure under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, providing businesses with opportunities to engage in a public authority-led initiative compliant with Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for service providers specialising in refuse and waste management. Companies with expertise in collection, haulage, and reprocessing of recyclable materials, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are well-placed to compete, as evidenced by prior bids primarily from this sector. The contract's focus on domestic mixed paper and cardboard, coupled with the council's transition from single-use to reusable bags, necessitates innovative solutions from businesses apt at adapting to evolving waste management practices. Participation in such tenders can lead to partnerships with public authorities, encouraging firms to scale operations and establish themselves as leaders in sustainable waste management solutions.
