Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has awarded a contract for the purchase and delivery of 140-litre wheelie bins equipped with secure locking mechanisms. The bins will be provided in dark grey and green colours, with an orange lid bearing Council-approved branding. Situated in Swansea, UK, this procurement falls under the 'Goods' category. The open competition procurement method was applied, allowing broad participation below threshold levels. The contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and is scheduled to run until 31st March 2027, with potential extension options up to 36 months. A significant contract, valued at £63,408 gross, has been awarded to CONTENUR (UK) LIMITED, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Knowsley, UK. The award phase concluded actively on 14th April 2026.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for SMEs involved in manufacturing or supplying waste management products, particularly those specialising in bins and containers. Businesses that can provide high-quality products with custom branding may find this contract appealing. The focus on secure locking mechanisms suggests innovation and quality are crucial. The procurement process involved an open competition below threshold levels, which makes it accessible for smaller enterprises looking to expand their market footprint within the public sector. As this was conducted by a sub-central public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, there may be direct opportunities for similar businesses within Wales or the UK looking to submit tenders for future extensions or similar procurements.
