UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council has concluded a public procurement process for the direct award of a contract concerning Glass Recycling Boxes, referred to as Lot 5. This procurement falls under the tender initiation type, with the status classified as complete. The council, located in Carmarthen, Wales (region UKL14), was seeking the provision of 10,080 44-litre plastic boxes for residential kerbside glass recycling collections. The procurement was managed through a selective method under a framework agreement, which is below the financial threshold. The contract spans from 11th May 2026 to 31st March 2027, with the supplier, IPL PLASTICS (UK) LIMITED, being awarded on the basis of their SME status, contributing to refuse and waste services primarily through the supply of waste containers.

This tender offers substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of refuse recycling services and waste management products, aligning with the industry category of waste and refuse-related services. Although the contract was awarded under a framework, the procurement landscape reveals the potential for suppliers qualified in producing durable waste management solutions. Businesses with expertise in scalable production and logistical efficiency suitable for sub-central government contracts, particularly within the United Kingdom, would find similar opportunities enriching for growth. Engaging with such contracts not only fosters industry reputation but also contributes to sustainability initiatives pursued by governmental authorities.
