UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council has concluded a procurement process for the supply of plastic kerbside recycling bags targeting the recycling of plastic film and wrap. The procurement, completed on 16th July 2026, included the supply of approximately 2,240,000 bags and was structured under a mini-competition awarded to a single supplier from Lot 10 of the Refuse & Recycling Products Framework (860_26). The procurement utilised a selective method focused on below-threshold awards, appropriate for sub-central government entities under Welsh devolved regulations. The contract commenced on 1st June 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027. The total contract value is £64,800 GBP, with the contracted activities occurring within the region UKL14, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs involved in the manufacturing and distribution of plastic waste handling materials. With the award to Imperial Polythene Products Ltd, a firm fitting the SME criteria, other similar enterprises could see this as a replication opportunity for similar future procurements. The procurement favoured a company skilled in producing polythene waste and refuse sacks, implying a strong market chance for businesses excelling in such industry categories to position themselves competitively in forthcoming opportunities. The focus on environmentally related products also opens doors for businesses prioritising sustainability and recyclable materials.
