Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has initiated a procurement process to acquire 140-litre wheeled bins, fitted with secure locking mechanisms and supplied in two colours—dark grey and green with an orange lid featuring Council-approved branding. This tender, classified under the goods industry category, is currently in the tender stage, with the tender period ending on 18th March 2026. Businesses interested in submitting an enquiry must do so by 11th March 2026. The procurement follows an open competition method below the threshold, and the relevant delivery region is UKL18, United Kingdom. The total contract value is set at £30,000 to £36,000, and the contract period starts on 1st April 2026.
