About the buyer

Carmarthenshire County Council is a local authority serving rural west Wales, buying goods, works and services across the county on behalf of residents. Contracts above the UK procurement threshold appear on Find a Tender Service. Sell2Wales lists smaller opportunities, and registered suppliers receive automatic email alerts there. A Corporate Procurement team runs tendering and guides prospective suppliers through the process. Lower-value work goes through a supplier list run by the council's business engagement team. Community benefits and the Well-being of Future Generations Act shape how contracts are awarded.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Carmarthenshire County Council's contract awards have been in waste, cleaning and environmental services, architectural and engineering services and research and development.
