Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process spearheaded by Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, located in Egham, UK, involved the purchase of an Amazone GHS1800 Groundkeeper machine. Categorised under the 'goods' industry, specifically lawnmowers, the procurement falls within a sub-central governmental category. The process was completed using a limited procurement method due to the below-threshold competition, resulting in a contract awarded to T. H. WHITE LIMITED. The contract was signed on 4th July 2025, with an active period from 7th July 2025 to 6th September 2025, covering the delivery to the South East region of the UK (UKJ2). The gross contract value is £32,830.

This tender presents opportunities for firms particularly involved in the manufacturing and supply of ground-keeping equipment to expand their business portfolio within the public sector. Large firms with the capability to handle limited competitive situations and provide quality ground maintenance equipment, such as lawnmowers, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The process signals potential growth for businesses that can offer specialised goods required by academic institutions or similar public sector organisations.
