Swansea Council claims an online auction collaboration with a neighbouring council could pave the way for other Welsh authorities to save millions of pounds in the procurement of key contracts.
As part of its e-government programme, Swansea worked with Neath Port Talbot Council to procure by online auction a tinned and dried foods supplier for schools in a contract worth £1.3m per year. The auction will save the councils £650,000 over the next five years.
Swansea council leader Chris Holley said there are plans to extend the use of online auctions.
