Provision and Operation of a Regular Car Boot Sale at Burry Port Harbour

Carmarthenshire County Council is considering granting a concession for a provider to organise, manage, and promote a recurring car boot sale within the Burry Port Harbour area.

The intended outcome is to establish a regular, high quality event that:

• attracts visitors and increases activity at the harbour.

• supports micro businesses, casual sellers, and local traders.

• contributes positively to the harbour’s commercial and community offer.

• operates safely, responsibly, and in keeping with the character and operational needs of the harbour. Supported by a detailed event management plan and risk assessments.

• Public Liability of £10million

The Council seeks insights into operational requirements, viability considerations, suitable operating times, site layout needs, traffic management, waste management, and any infrastructure or support expected from the Council.

The Council invites interested organisations to register their interest and request further information in relation to the provision of this service. This invitation is issued for information‑gathering and early market engagement purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to proceed with any future procurement process.

The Council reserves the right to amend the scope, structure, or timing of any future procurement. The car boot operation must comply with relevant licensing, harbour byelaws, environmental regulations, and safety requirements.
