Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has completed a procurement process for acquiring a new 48" Zero Turn Ride-on Mower, classified under 'Mowers' in the CPV scheme. The contract, valued at £10,100, has been awarded to Rickerby Limited. This process, conducted using a tender procedure, reached the award stage on 27th May 2026, with the contract period running from 28th May 2026 to 29th June 2026. The procurement was targeted within the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the landscaping or gardening equipment supply sectors, especially those focusing on municipal or large-scale client needs. Companies that produce or distribute mowing equipment are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future procurements by local councils. The procurement did not specify suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting a focus on larger suppliers capable of delivering the required goods swiftly. Engaging in such contracts can provide businesses with valuable exposure and leverage for further public sector opportunities.
