Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea is managing a procurement process titled "Contract for Legacy Hardware Maintenance Contract," under the Welsh devolved regulations. This tender, currently in the active stage, invites suppliers to provide maintenance solutions for legacy hardware used by Swansea Council, specifically offering break fix resolutions. This contract spans a duration of three years, with expectations for hardware numbers to decrease gradually. The procurement method is an open competition below threshold, with quality weighted at 20% and price at 80% in the award criteria. Interested parties must express their interest and submit bids through the eTenderWales portal before the deadline, scheduled for 12:00 pm on 23 March 2026. Queries can be made until 16 March 2026, with the contract set to commence on 1 April 2026.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in IT support and maintenance, particularly those familiar with handling legacy hardware. Smaller enterprises and voluntary or community sector organisations are also encouraged to participate, given the suitability indicators. As the contract requires adherence to flexible repayment options and comprehensive cover for listed items, businesses with adaptable service models and strong technical expertise will be well-suited contenders. Furthermore, as the hardware list will be subject to possible amendments, companies willing to adapt to changing requirements may find growth prospects through this partnership with the municipal authority of Swansea.
