Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has initiated an open procurement process for acquiring up to five 7.5-tonne Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) chassis cab tippers with cranes. This procurement, published on 5th May 2026, falls under the transport equipment industry category and applies to public authority sub-central government regulations. The tender process is currently active, with the tender submission deadline set for 1st June 2026 at 12:00. Situated in the UKL18 region of the United Kingdom, the project represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the region. The entire process is governed by the legal provisions under UKPGA 2023/54, with the final contract award anticipated by 22nd June 2026. Bids are processed through an electronic tendering portal featuring both online and offline actions.

This tender offers lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of vehicle transport equipment.

Given that 80% of the evaluation criteria is based on price and 20% on quality, businesses that can offer competitive pricing while maintaining robust product quality stand to benefit. The contract worth up to £480,000 could significantly boost business growth by providing a steady supply contract over the stipulated period from 22nd June to 5th September 2026. Suppliers with the capacity to provide demonstrator vehicles and meet specification compliance will be strongly positioned for success.
