This contract falls under the goods category, specifically targeting specialist agricultural or forestry machinery and miscellaneous cleaning machines. Initially opened for tender with an award announced on 5th March 2026, this project underwent the tender and award phases. The procurement method was open, ensuring all interested suppliers had the opportunity to bid. The award stage was finalised with the contract signed on 9th July 2025, with Gareth Howells Livestock And Dairy Technology Limited named as the supplier. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural technology and machinery solutions, particularly those skilled in robotic equipment compatible with current systems like the Barn-E 185 model. Given the nature of the equipment, companies that easily adapt to customisation and can support installation and commissioning processes will find this contract aligns well with their expertise. As the original machine purchased last year is insufficient for the shed's entire cleaning needs, the new venture ensures continued reliability and efficiency in livestock management, providing business growth prospects for suppliers with innovation in agricultural technology. ## Notice Coleg Sir Gar wish to tender for the supply, installation and commissioning of an additional robotic scraping machine for its main cow shed, located at Gelli Aur Campus in Carmarthen.Address: Gelli Aur Campus, Carmarthen, SA32 8NJ.As background, using last year's Welsh Government machinery grant, the College purchased a robotic scraping machine to clean slurry / muck in the main cow shed. Due to delivery delays and the timing of housing the cattle, the unit is yet to be installed. Furthermore, building adaptations are required to accommodate the machine, which we are planning to undertake over the next few months.The unit we originally purchased only has the capacity to clean half the shed, and our current cleaning system is becoming increasingly unreliable and expensive to maintain.Current Model: Barn-E 185.The new equipment must be fully compatible and capable of operating in tandem with the original Barn-E 185 model. Any offers must include the supply, installation and commissioning of the proposed equipment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=151244 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jun 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Jul 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COLEG SIR GAR | | Locality | CARMARTHENSHIRE | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA15 4DN | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL42 South West Wales | | Local authority | Carmarthenshire | | Electoral ward | Hengoed | | Westminster constituency | Llanelli | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GARETH HOWELLS LIVESTOCK AND DAIRY TECHNOLOGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 16 - Agricultural machinery - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 16600000 - Specialist agricultural or forestry machinery - 42995000 - Miscellaneous cleaning machines ## Release History - 5 Mar 2026 at 11:18 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=151244 - 22 May 2025 at 15:03 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=151244 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=MAY513988&idx=1 22nd May 2025 - Document 1 - Tendering Information and Instructions - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=MAY513988&idx=2 22nd May 2025 - Document 2 - Tender Specification - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=MAY513988&idx=3 22nd May 2025 - Document 3 - Terms and Conditions - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=MAY513988&idx=4 22nd May 2025 - Pricing Schedule ## Notice URLs - http://www.colegsirgar.ac.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
