UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom, has initiated a procurement process through an open procedure for a "Framework Agreement for Plant Hire". This tender, identified by CCS/26/010, is aimed at hiring plant and equipment necessary for civil engineering projects within the Swansea region (UKL18), with the relevant industry categories including industrial machinery and construction equipment hire. The procurement is currently in the "tender" stage with critical deadlines, such as the tender submission end by 1st June 2026 and the award decision expected by 1st July 2026. The agreement, set to begin on 1st August 2026, will last until 31st July 2028, with an option to extend by 24 months. The total value of the tender is approximately £288,000, including various lots like pumps, general tools, accommodation/welfare, and traffic management equipment.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and hire of construction machinery and equipment, particularly those specialising in plant hire with trained operators. With a framework agreement that allows for call-off contracts based entirely on competitive pricing, businesses offering competitive rates and reliable service can secure repeat contracts within this framework. Companies with capabilities in logistics and quick response to varying site locations have an advantage, as the procurement process considers both pricing and logistical efficiency. The potential to participate in multiple lots further enhances growth opportunities for firms able to offer diverse equipment and robust delivery mechanisms. This tender is particularly suited for businesses seeking to strengthen their presence in the public sector by providing necessary tools and equipment for infrastructure projects.
