Summary of the contracting process

Stafford Borough Council procured one new ride-on mower for delivery in the West Midlands. This is a goods requirement in the mowers category, covering the supply of a complete ride-on mowing machine rather than a wider grounds-maintenance service. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery area is the West Midlands, with Stafford identified as the council’s location. The requirement is focused and equipment-specific, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised dealers and specialist suppliers of new ride-on mowing machinery. Businesses providing general landscaping, grounds maintenance or used equipment would need to assess whether they can supply the specified new machine before considering this procurement as a useful indicator of demand.

The procurement reached completion and the contract was awarded to F R Sharrock Limited on 8 July 2026. The awarded value was £66,000. The contract period runs from 9 July 2026 to 9 August 2026. The tender closed on 8 July 2026, and the award is recorded as active. The requirement was a single purchase rather than a multi-lot award: one new ride-on mower. It was procured as a goods contract under a tender process, with the tender record identifying the procurement as TPPL Stafford Borough Council NEPO GM & P Lot 1. The available outcome confirms the successful supplier and award basis, while the procurement method details are recorded as not specified.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Stafford Borough Council for a new ride-on mower at a substantial equipment-purchase scale. It is commercially relevant to businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply new ride-on mowing equipment and can provide a complete machine to a public-sector buyer. The awarded supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this points towards the importance of established supply capacity and the ability to fulfil a dedicated equipment order. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need a suitable new ride-on mower, dependable access to the required equipment and experience of supplying councils or similar public-sector organisations.
