Discussions were held with a small number of organisations possessing relevant technical knowledge, experience and expertise as the SWWCJC looked at opportunities for anaerobic digestion to tackle nutrient management challenges alongside energy generation. The purpose of the engagement was to improve the organisation's understanding of the market and inform the development of an appropriate regional strategy and identify opportunities for project development. Participation in the engagement did not confer any advantage, preference or commitment in relation to any future procurement opportunity. No supplier was selected, shortlisted or otherwise favoured as a result of the engagement. The engagement demonstrated market interest future projects and identified a range of potential technical, operational and delivery approaches. This complemented wider stakeholder engagement undertaken at sector events. The information obtained through the market engagement has been used solely to inform the Authority's understanding of the market and the development of its requirements. The engagement has not determined the final specification, procurement procedure, award criteria, contract structure or the selection of any future supplier. Any future procurement will be conducted through a fair, open and competitive process. All interested and eligible organisations will have an equal opportunity to participate.

The project will focus on the potential development of anaerobic digestion infrastructure at a pilot site at Cwm Gwyrdd Nantycaws; the emerging circular economy park in Carmarthenshire. The study will assess how agricultural slurry, and other organic waste streams could be collected, processed and converted into renewable energy, while also supporting improved nutrient management in sensitive river catchments. It will investigate how anaerobic digestion could improve slurry management, generate low-carbon energy, recover nutrients for reuse and export out of the catchment, reduce reliance on imported fertilisers, and support wider catchment recovery objectives. The project will also explore opportunities to process digestate into higher-value products, including potential biochar applications, creating further opportunities for carbon sequestration and circular economy development. The purpose of this commission is to determine the technical, environmental, regulatory, commercial and financial viability of delivering catchment-scale anaerobic digestion and nutrient recovery infrastructure within the South West Wales region to solve multiple complex challenges. The purpose of this commission is to: 1. Determine the technical, environmental, regulatory and commercial viability of a catchment-scale anaerobic digestion facility using Nantycaws/Cwm Gwyrdd as a pilot test site. 2. Assess the contribution that strategically planned nutrient recovery infrastructure could make towards nutrient neutrality, river restoration, climate mitigation and circular economy objectives. 3. Develop an investment-ready Outline Business Case that identifies preferred delivery, ownership and financing models. 4. Where additional funding is available, develop a replicable framework that can be applied across priority Welsh catchments. 5. Provide SWWCJC and partner authorities with a robust evidence base to support future investment decisions.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "90711000", "description": "Environmental impact assessment other than for construction" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "90713000", "description": "Environmental issues consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71800000", "description": "Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "73000000", "description": "Research and development services and related consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71241000", "description": "Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UKL14", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 299999.97, "amount": 250000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-12-14T00:00:00+00:00", "endDate": "2027-03-31T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "active", "value": { "amountGross": 299999.97, "amount": 250000, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "quality", "name": "Technical Methodology and Delivery Approach", "description": "* Your proposed methodology for each workstream. * How environmental, engineering, commercial and stakeholder requirements will be integrated. * How evidence will be gathered and analysed. * How the feasibility study and Outline Business Case will be developed. * How the approach would be adapted if the commission is expanded from the PS125,000 option to the PS250,000 option.", "numbers": [ { "number": 20, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Project Team, Resources and Relevant Experience", "description": "* Project structure. * Key personnel roles. * Relevant qualifications. * Relevant project examples completed within the last five years. * Experience of developing business cases, feasibility studies and multidisciplinary environmental projects.", "numbers": [ { "number": 15, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Project Management, Governance and Quality Assurance", "description": "* Governance arrangements. * Programme management approach. * Reporting procedures. * Quality assurance processes. * Risk management arrangements. * Management of specialist subcontractors. * Escalation procedures.", "numbers": [ { "number": 10, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Stakeholder Engagement and Social Acceptability", "description": "* Farmers and land managers. * Local authorities. * NRW and regulatory stakeholders. * Local communities. * Infrastructure operators. * Industry stakeholders", "numbers": [ { "number": 5, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Added Value, Innovation and Legacy Benefits", "description": "* Innovative analytical tools. * Additional datasets. * Knowledge transfer. * Training. * Replication frameworks. * Funding opportunities. * Market intelligence. * Long-term strategic benefits for SWWCJC and partner authorities.", "numbers": [ { "number": 10, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "cost", "name": "price", "description": "Total Cost for the project including all elements for both levels of funding", "numbers": [ { "number": 40, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] } ] }, "selectionCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "economic", "description": "as per tender documents" }, { "type": "technical", "description": "As per tender documents" } ] } } ], "communication": { "futureNoticeDate": "2026-10-16T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "active", "procurementMethod": "open", "procurementMethodDetails": "Open procedure", "submissionMethodDetails": "Tenders are available from the https://etenderwales.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ portal.
