Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has awarded a contract to One Source IT Ltd for the maintenance of legacy hardware. This procurement process, with the title "Contract for Legacy Hardware Maintenance Contract", falls under the services category and targets repair and IT support services. Located in Swansea, the project will run from May 2026 to April 2029, with a gross contract value of £36,000. The open procurement method, described as "below threshold - open competition", indicates a broad opportunity for competitive bidding. The procurement process progressed from an initial tender stage, which closed on 23rd March 2026, to the award on 13th May 2026, conducted under Welsh devolved regulations and adhering to UK legislative standards.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in IT services, maintenance, and repair. Firms experienced in providing flexible, scalable solutions for hardware maintenance and those capable of managing varying levels of equipment over the contract term are well-suited to compete in this tender environment. The focus on quality and price in the award criteria highlights the necessity for businesses to deliver comprehensive and cost-effective solutions. Additionally, organisations capable of adapting to the council's dynamic hardware needs, as the primary data centre at the Civic Centre closes, will find this an advantageous avenue to demonstrate reliability and service excellence.
