Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is procuring a closed framework agreement for the supply and delivery of kitchen units, worktops and associated products. The products will be used across the authority’s housing stock and corporate buildings in Swansea. This is a goods requirement covering kitchen furniture, equipment and related domestic or catering supplies. The scope is limited to supply and delivery: installation, removal and all other on-site works are expressly excluded. The appointed supplier will therefore need to provide the specified kitchen products and arrange their delivery to the authority’s requirements, rather than carry out refurbishment, fitting or demolition work. The framework is intended to support the council’s ongoing property and building needs.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure for a single-supplier framework. The enquiry deadline was 10 September 2026 at 12:00 and the tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date was 21 September 2026. The framework contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend for up to 24 months, to a maximum date of 30 September 2030. Its estimated value is £1.3 million excluding VAT, or £1.56 million including VAT. Evaluation is based on 70% price and 30% quality, covering supply chain, delivery and stock management, quality assurance, technical compliance, continuous improvement, social value and community benefits.

This opportunity suits kitchen product manufacturers, distributors, merchants and specialist suppliers able to deliver kitchen units, worktops and associated products reliably to a public-sector customer. Strong supply-chain planning, stock management and delivery arrangements will be important, as these form part of the quality assessment alongside quality assurance, technical compliance and continuous improvement. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate consistent product quality and compliance with the required technical specification, supported by robust operational controls. The evaluation also rewards social value and community benefits, so bidders with credible local or community-focused commitments may be better placed. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the framework’s supply-and-delivery-only scope may suit businesses without installation or construction teams.
