Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea procured the supply and delivery of small household food-waste caddies for residents. The requirement covers green, printed 5–7 litre caddies with a hinged lid and handle, supplied pre-assembled. They must have solid, non-ventilated walls, contain at least 30% recycled plastic and carry the council logo and ordering text on the front panel. Orders are placed on a call-off basis, with an initial minimum order of 15,000 units. Delivery and transport are to Swansea, Wales, and prices must include all delivery costs. The procurement is categorised as goods and relates to recycling equipment and refuse and waste-related services. The buying organisation is City & County of Swansea.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The selected supplier is Straight Ltd/IPL Plastics UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 23 June 2027, with an option to extend for up to a further 36 months, to 23 June 2030. Its value is £129,000 excluding VAT (£154,800 including VAT). It was a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 30 March 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 23 March 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and quality at 30%, with quality covering the product, print and delivery timescales. One caddy sample was required for evaluation.

This opportunity indicates recurring demand from Swansea for manufactured, printed household food-waste caddies supplied through call-off orders. A credible future supplier would need production capacity for repeated orders of small plastic containers, reliable sourcing of recycled polymer and the ability to provide at least 30% recycled content. The specification requires consistent green colouring, solid-wall construction, hinged lids, handles and pre-assembled delivery. Suppliers should also be able to print or emboss changing council artwork accurately on the front panel and manage transport to Swansea. Demonstrable product quality, print quality and dependable delivery performance would be important because these formed the quality assessment. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the successful supplier is a large business.
