UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is buying LoRaWAN gateways and sensors for water safety and flood prevention in culverts. The requirement comprises 40 RAK Wireless Soho Solar Gateways, with solar panels, batteries, brackets, cables and connections, and 40 Dragino water/air pressure sensors with batteries. Of the sensors, 15 are to have 10-metre leads and 25 are to have 5-metre leads. The order also includes two service power adapters for Battery Plus. This is a supply contract for electric sensors and associated gateway equipment. Delivery is in Swansea, Wales.

The council invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The contract period is 15–16 December 2026. The estimated value is £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). Questions were due by 12 noon on 16 November 2026, and bids by 12 noon on 23 November 2026. Price carries 80% of the evaluation score. Quality carries 20%, split between lead time (10%), returns policy (5%), and warranty/support package (5%).

This opportunity suits suppliers able to source and supply LoRaWAN gateway equipment, solar power components, batteries, cabling and water/air pressure sensors as a coordinated package. The specified products include RAK Wireless Soho Solar Gateways and Dragino sensors, with different lead lengths required across the sensor quantities. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable. The quality assessment gives weight to delivery lead time, returns arrangements, and the warranty and support package, so suppliers should be able to offer credible delivery commitments and after-sales service alongside competitive pricing. The contract is a concentrated equipment supply for culvert monitoring and flood-prevention use, rather than a requirement for installation or ongoing monitoring services.
