UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the City & County of Swansea, involved the acquisition of garden waste bags, which are to be delivered within 2-3 weeks of order. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on polythene waste and refuse sacks and bags. Located in Swansea, in the region UKL18, United Kingdom, the procurement was characterised by direct procurement without competition due to its below-threshold status. Key dates include the contract signing on 4th March 2026, with a contract period extending from 5th March to 3rd August 2026, with a gross value of £198,198. The process reached the award stage, identifying J. & H.M. DICKSON LIMITED as the supplier for this contract, contributing to the local council's garden waste management programme.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in manufacturing garden waste disposal products. Given the specific requirement for UK-manufactured bags, domestic businesses within the pertinent sector could benefit from such procurement processes by demonstrating quality and reliability in their offerings. Companies that can supply innovative and sustainable waste management solutions will be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders, enhancing their market presence and contributing to environmental sustainability. The City & County of Swansea's focus on direct procurement, recognised through Welsh devolved regulations, suggests continued opportunities for local businesses to engage with public sector contracts.
