Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council recently concluded a public procurement process for the "Purchase of a Fleet of New Ride on Mowers." This procurement, which was conducted under the open procedure, involved the acquisition of up to nine ride-on mowers, aimed at maintaining local verges, highways, parks, and open spaces. The procurement was divided into four separate lots, each covering different types of mowers, with the contracts awarded on 13th August 2025 to Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd. The process was initiated as a tender, and it adhered to the legal basis set by EU Directive 2014/24/EU, identified by CPV 16310000, Mowers, and took place within the North East Lincolnshire region, marked by the completion status within September 2025.

This tender presents various avenues for business growth, particularly for those involved in the manufacturing or supply of mowing equipment for municipal use. Small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those specialising in outdoor maintenance machinery, would find this an attractive opportunity due to the demand for various mower specifications, such as cylinder mowers and zero-turn mowers. Furthermore, businesses with strong quality assurance, efficient delivery and customer service, and a commitment to social value could benefit significantly as these criteria were pivotal in awarding the contracts. With procurement methods and processes clearly outlined, this tender demonstrates the potential for large-scale suppliers to establish or expand their presence in local council markets.
