## Summary

Carmarthenshire County Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the delivery of cleaning, maintenance, and associated services for public conveniences across the county, classified under CPV codes such as 90910000 for cleaning services and 50760000 for repair and maintenance of public conveniences. The Council seeks early market engagement to gather feedback on supplier capacity, service delivery models, and innovation opportunities before proceeding with a formal procurement strategy. Interested parties have until 4th September 2026 to provide feedback to help shape future service delivery. The procurement will adhere to Welsh devolved regulations, and the contracted services are expected to start on 1st April 2027, extending potentially to 31st March 2030.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in cleaning, maintenance, and sanitation services, to expand within the region of Carmarthenshire, UKL14. Companies with experience in managing legacy systems and providing comprehensive facilities management will find this opportunity particularly suitable. The Council is keen on exploring innovative solutions for efficiency and value for money, offering a platform for businesses to showcase expertise in modernising public conveniences, such as upgrading income collection systems to contactless payment methods. This process, highlighting SMEs' eligibility, promises growth potential for various business sizes and sectors engaged in public facility management.

## Notice

The Council is considering future service delivery arrangements for public conveniences across Carmarthenshire. The current requirement remains for a county-wide service that supports the continued operation of public conveniences. The requirement is expected to include a range of integrated services, including routine cleaning, repairs and maintenance, consumables provision, sanitary waste disposal, sharps disposal, out of hours response, manage, maintain and repair income collection systems and relevant inspection and compliance activities. The current service model also includes specialist elements linked to legacy equipment and access arrangements at certain sites. The Council is seeking early market feedback to better understand supplier capability, service delivery models, risks, and opportunities before determining its future procurement approach and contract structure. The Council invites interested organisations to register their interest and request further information in relation to the provision of this service. This invitation is issued for information-gathering and early market engagement purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to proceed with any future procurement process.
