About the buyer

Suppliers submit electronic tenders online through eTenderWales. Larger contracts are also advertised on Find a Tender Service under the Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform to bid for contracts above a set threshold value. Major framework agreements are procured through the South West Wales regional collaborative arrangement.

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 City and County of Swansea's contract awards have been in construction work, transport equipment and business services.
