Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has undertaken a procurement process to engage specialist contractors for the service and maintenance of gas-fired cremators and abatement systems at the Swansea Crematorium. This contract has been awarded to IFZW - MAINTENANCE LIMITED and was facilitated via a direct award method, with the absence of competition justified on technical grounds. The procurement falls under the services category, takes place under Welsh devolved regulations, and takes effect from 1st April 2026. The contract period extends until 31st March 2027, with options for renewal, potentially extending up to 31st March 2029. The procurement stage is completed, with key dates including the standstill period ending on 12th February 2026 and the anticipated contract signature by 18th February 2026.

This procurement provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in cremator systems. Companies like IFZW - MAINTENANCE LIMITED, identified as an SME and located in Horsham, demonstrate the type of supplier suited for this contract. The direct award through a technical rationale indicates a requirement for specialised skills and knowledge, highlighting the need for specialised, niche firms capable of servicing complex systems. With the gross contract value being £339,700, there exists a substantial financial incentive and scope for growth, particularly for small to medium enterprises specialising in this sector.
