## Summary

The City & County of Swansea, acting as the contracting authority, is initiating a procurement process for a framework agreement focusing on recreational, cultural, sporting, and other community services. The project, titled "Supplier Event for Gower Activities," involves both water and land-based activities such as kayaking, surfing, climbing, and hiking. This procurement, currently at the planning stage, will include an online supplier engagement event set for Monday, 12th January 2026, from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm. Interested suppliers must register by Wednesday, 8th January 2026, by contacting Ceri Butcher or Mark Gosney via email. This open procurement method represents a 'light touch' regime with a below-threshold competition, and the tender documents are expected to be published on eTenderWales in February 2026. The framework agreement is anticipated to start on 1st April 2026 and run until 31st March 2029.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth within the service industry, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses that specialise in outdoor recreational activities can potentially expand their operations by securing a spot within the planned framework agreement. With a gross contract value of £40,000, this procurement could be particularly lucrative for companies in the leisure and adventure tourism sector, looking to engage with public sector opportunities under the Welsh devolved regulations. Engaging in this supplier event could pave the way for new business prospects and client relationships, as the City & County of Swansea seeks innovative service providers to enrich its local activity offerings.
