Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has entered the award stage for their procurement process concerning a "Framework Agreement for the Supply of ReadyMix Concrete." This contract covers the delivery of ready-mix concrete to various Swansea Council properties for maintenance and emergency works. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, culminating in the award of a framework agreement on 20th April 2026, with the contract set to begin on 20th April 2026 and end on 19th April 2028. CELTIC READY MIX LIMITED has been selected as the supplier, and the procurement process aligns with UK devolved regulations. The contract, valued at £656,896.32, allows the possibility of renewal up to a maximum extent date of 19th April 2030. Locations served include Swansea, United Kingdom, within the UKL18 region.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly in the construction and building material sectors. The concrete supply framework provides an ongoing demand for suppliers capable of delivering high-quality ready-mix concrete with compliance to specifications and potential value-added contributions. SMEs like CELTIC READY MIX LIMITED, which have already been successful in securing the contract, are encouraged to participate, as they may also benefit from the direct award model for smaller value call-offs and the mini-competition approach for contracts exceeding £5,000. Suppliers capable of adhering to excellent delivery times, compliance, and quality assurance stand to benefit by gaining visibility and experience in public sector procurement.
