Summary of the contracting process

Coleg Sir Gar has concluded the procurement process for the supply, installation, and commissioning of an additional robotic scraping machine for its main cow shed at Gelli Aur Campus, located in Carmarthen, Wales. This contract falls under the goods category, specifically targeting specialist agricultural or forestry machinery and miscellaneous cleaning machines. Initially opened for tender with an award announced on 5th March 2026, this project underwent the tender and award phases. The procurement method was open, ensuring all interested suppliers had the opportunity to bid. The award stage was finalised with the contract signed on 9th July 2025, with Gareth Howells Livestock And Dairy Technology Limited named as the supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural technology and machinery solutions, particularly those skilled in robotic equipment compatible with current systems like the Barn-E 185 model. Given the nature of the equipment, companies that easily adapt to customisation and can support installation and commissioning processes will find this contract aligns well with their expertise. As the original machine purchased last year is insufficient for the shed's entire cleaning needs, the new venture ensures continued reliability and efficiency in livestock management, providing business growth prospects for suppliers with innovation in agricultural technology.
