Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Council procured two new lawn tractors for delivery in the North East of England. This is a goods requirement for tractors (CPV 16700000), rather than a service, construction or maintenance contract. The equipment is intended for the council’s operational use and involves supplying new machines that meet its specification. The contracting authority is Gateshead Council, based at the Civic Centre in Gateshead. The requirement is focused and equipment-led, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised dealers, agricultural and grounds-maintenance machinery suppliers, and distributors able to provide two new lawn tractors to a public-sector buyer in the North East.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Gateshead Council selected Thomas Sherriff & Co Ltd on 22 July 2026. The award value is £40,937.08 including the stated currency, for the supply of two new lawn tractors. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 23 August 2026. Tender submissions were due by 26 June 2026. The published process identifies the main category as goods and the procurement method details as “Not specified”. The award is active, and the tender is complete. The award covers a single requirement for the two tractors, with no separate lot awards reported.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award confirms a defined council demand for new lawn tractors at a modest equipment purchase scale. A credible future competitor would need to source and supply new machines, understand the requirements of grounds or estate operations, and provide reliable delivery within the North East. The buyer’s selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses best placed for comparable demand would therefore have established manufacturer or dealer relationships, access to suitable tractor stock, and the operational capacity to fulfil a small, time-bound equipment order for a local authority.
