## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Carmarthenshire County Council is focused on the "Hire of Plant, Machinery & Equipment Framework 2026." The council, situated in Carmarthen, seeks experienced suppliers for a framework agreement related to hiring various heavy plant machinery, including excavators, telehandlers, rollers, and dumpers, with and without operators, applicable under Welsh devolved regulations. This open procedure is currently in the award stage, with the contract set to commence on 1 April 2026 and run through 31 March 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. Key upcoming dates include the signature milestone due on 16 March 2026 and the end of the standstill period on 12 March 2026.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in equipment hire or possess relevant operator expertise. Companies participating in the framework stand to benefit from the considerable projected value of £4 million over the initial four years, with the opportunity for direct awards and competitive selection processes. Suitable businesses include those within the construction, civil engineering, earthmoving sectors, and services related to industrial vehicle hire. The flexible framework arrangement allows diverse suppliers, including large-scale organisations, to secure significant works and establish long-term consignments with Carmarthenshire County Council.
