Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Contract for Annual Clearance Of Vegetation On Footpaths and Bridleways." This public service contract, crucial for maintaining clear pathways across Swansea and Gower, falls under the horticultural and vegetation management category. The procurement was conducted using an open competition method and was below threshold. The procurement stage has now moved from tender to award, with contracts signed on 21st May 2026. The service period for the contract runs from 27th May 2026 to 31st October 2026, covering two areas. The primary contact for the buying organisation, located at the Civic Centre in Swansea, is Chris Dale, reachable via email. The total contract value is approximately £35,701.19, split across two lots.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in horticultural services, particularly those focusing on weed-clearance and green area maintenance. Companies like small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), or those with capabilities in compliance and safety, would be well-suited to participate had the tender still been open. Engaging in such public contracts can offer stability and visibility to growing businesses, especially those looking to establish or expand their presence in the Welsh public service sector. With a focus on safety, compliance, and competitive pricing in the evaluation criteria, businesses adept in these areas stand to gain from actively pursuing similar opportunities in future tenders.
