Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council procured five items of grounds-maintenance machinery for delivery to its leisure contractor, Greenwich Leisure Limited, at Panshanger Golf Complex in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The requirement covers one Ransomes MP653 wide-area rotary mower, one Wessex Pro-Line Gen 2 RMX500 tri-deck roller mower, one Iseki SF237 out-front rotary mower, one Wessex CRX320 trailed mower and one Smithco Sand Star bunker rake. The equipment is for professional golf-course and leisure-ground maintenance, including wide-area grass cutting, roller mowing, out-front mowing, trailed mowing and bunker maintenance. The specified features include diesel or petrol engines, four-wheel drive, rotary or roller cutting systems, turf tyres, lighting, operator protection frames and manufacturer warranties. The main procurement category is goods, classified as mowers and lawnmowers.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to P TUCKWELL LTD on 18 August 2026, with an awarded value recorded as £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 10 October 2026. The award covers the machinery requirement for Panshanger Golf Complex as a single procurement, rather than separately identified lots. The contract is for the supply of goods, with delivery to the golf complex in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement record identifies the award as active and the tender as complete, so this is an outcome notice rather than a current purchasing opportunity.

This award shows a requirement for a specialist grounds-machinery supplier able to provide a broad package of golf-course maintenance equipment from established manufacturers. A credible future competitor would need access to wide-area rotary, tri-deck roller, out-front and trailed mowers, as well as bunker rakes, with the ability to supply equivalent machinery where permitted. Relevant technical capability includes matching cutting widths, transport dimensions, power requirements, four-wheel-drive systems, height-of-cut ranges, roller or rotary decks, turf tyres and attachments. Suppliers should also be able to support delivery to a leisure site and provide manufacturer-backed warranties, including two- and three-year coverage for some machines. The buyer's stated suitability assessment does not identify this requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
