Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council has awarded a contract for highway gully cleansing services, commencing on 3rd August 2026 and set to conclude on 30th June 2029, with the possibility of a 24-month extension until 30th June 2031. The procurement process employed an open procedure, allowing any interested and qualified entities to participate. The contract's estimated value ranged from £700,000 to £1,170,000, with the final award amounting to £1,214,100. Wales Environmental Ltd, located in Cardiff, has been selected as the supplier for this essential service aimed at sewer cleaning and surface water pollution drainage. The entire process adheres to the UK's procurement legal framework, aligning with both public authority sub-central government classifications and Welsh devolved regulations, and it remains pertinent to the region within the UK, specifically targeting services in Aberaeron, Ceredigion.

The awarded contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in environmental services, particularly those focusing on urban and rural cleaning services, sewer maintenance, and surface water management. SMEs, like Wales Environmental Ltd, can benefit from such contracts as it provides a stable, long-term revenue stream and enhances their portfolio within the public sector. Companies with expertise in environmental compliance, capacity to handle varying service demands, and possessing qualified personnel for technical operations stand a strong chance of successfully competing in similar future tenders. The open procurement method ensures a competitive bidding landscape, encouraging businesses to offer market-driven proposals.
