Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Carmarthenshire County Council, a public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, concerns the direct award contract for "Glass Recycling Boxes (Lot 5)." This project involves the supply of 10,080 plastic boxes, each with a 44-litre capacity, intended for kerbside glass recycling collections within the Carmarthen region, UK. The contract was awarded through a selective, below-threshold framework, reflecting a non-competitive process. With the procurement status marked as complete, the contract commenced on 11th May 2026 and is slated for completion by 31st March 2027, having been signed on the start date for a gross value of £60,963.84.

This tender provides significant business growth potential, especially for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying waste recycling containers. Given the nature of the goods involved and the location-specific delivery requirements, companies with local presence or logistics capabilities within the Carmarthen area would find it advantageous to compete in similar tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on sustainability and efficient delivery practices would be well-suited for future opportunities of this nature, particularly when the procurement method leverages existing frameworks directly targeting local business capabilities.
