The City & County of Swansea commissioned a procurement process for groundworks and drainage in Sketty, Swansea, with the contract awarded on 14th April 2026. This process, categorised under works, involved the use of an open competition method below the threshold. The contract involved excavation, earthmoving, and drainage work, and was initiated under tender and completed on 15th April 2026. The contract period extends until 14th December 2026 with a gross value of £76,307.
