This procurement falls under the goods category and is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 7 January 2022. Interested parties can express their interest and submit tenders via the eTenderwales platform, accessible at the submission method details provided. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the technology and waste management sectors, particularly those specialising in sensor technology, IoT applications, and data analytics. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions for real-time monitoring of waste management systems will be well-positioned to compete. With collaboration anticipated across multiple local councils, offering a chance to form consortiums could enhance the competitiveness of bids, aligning with the authority’s vision for improved operational efficiency in waste management. ## Notice In collaboration with our City Deal partners (Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, Carmarthenshire County Council) Swansea Council, as the Lead Authority, has been awarded funding to build and test the implementation of sensors in rural litter bins and communal domestic waste bins to reduce complaints and improve operational efficiency through undertaking an Alpha Project.The Alpha phase will test:* Improved customer satisfaction and user journeys* Implementing sensors in bins which give real-time information, so bins always have capacity for the user, especially in rural areas.* Ensuring bins are not overflowing with litter left around the bin* Reducing the need for the user to contact the Council or complain* Hypotheses and insights in the following ways:* Comparing 'before and after' data and analytics* Measuring customer requests for service and complaintsUndertaking user-centred researchAs part of this project we intend to install sensors in bins of several sizes and different designs across the 4 Council areas. The majority of sensors will be installed in public litter bins, but we are also intending to install sensors in communal bins (like for a block of flats), and "igloo" bins which are communal recycling bins used for collecting glass.Therefore, we recognise it may be best to use different devices for different bins. We reserve the right to select more than one supplier in this instance.NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process.
