Summary of the contracting process

On 19th March 2026, the City & County of Swansea entered the award stage of the contracting process for the service and maintenance of gas-fired cremators at the Swansea Crematorium. The procurement is classified under the "Repair and Maintenance" services category in the UK region of Swansea, and has been awarded using a direct award method. This decision was made due to the proprietary nature of the equipment requiring use of the sole supplier. The contract, which commenced on 1st April 2026 and is valid until 31st March 2027, with an option for renewal until March 2029, has a gross value of GBP 339,700.68.

This direct award presents opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services within proprietary technology environments.
