Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon recently concluded a procurement process for the supply and delivery of grounds maintenance along with the servicing and maintenance of machinery. The process has resulted in the award of a contract to Farol Ltd for supplying equipment essential for maintaining the borough's parks and gardens. The procurement was structured into multiple lots focusing on different aspects like machinery delivery and maintenance. Although initially active tenders related to these lots were later marked as cancelled, the main contract, signed on 2nd September 2025, remains active. The procurement, categorized under goods and related to grounds-maintenance equipment with a CPV classification of 43325100, followed an open procedure under the regulations of the 2014 EU Directives and GPA coverage. Located in the UKI74 region, this project underscores the strategic importance of maintaining local public spaces.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the machinery supply sector, particularly those specializing in grounds maintenance and compliance with rigorous industry and safety standards. The selection criteria balanced both quality and price equally, encouraging suppliers who can deliver not only cost-effective solutions but also high-quality equipment that meets operational requirements. Large-scale suppliers who can manage large contracts effectively stand to benefit particularly well. The open procedure method allows broad participation, making this an attractive proposition for businesses looking to forge or strengthen ties with local authorities, expand their market presence, and demonstrate capability in handling substantial public sector contracts.
