Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has facilitated the procurement process for the purchase of a Kubota Diesel 4-cylinder tractor for Little Hay Golf Course, following damage to their previous equipment in a fire. This transaction was conducted through a direct procurement method, classified as below the threshold and without competition, and has now reached completion. The contract was awarded to GEORGE BROWNS LIMITED, a supplier based in Leighton Buzzard, within the UKH25 region. The agreement, valued at a gross amount of £52,788, was signed on the 21st August 2025 and ran until 31st December 2025. This procurement falls under the category of goods, particularly tractors, and the primary location for delivery is within the UKH2 region.

The completion of this procurement process represents a significant business opportunity for suppliers specialising in agricultural and large machinery equipment. Companies like GEORGE BROWNS LIMITED, who have expertise and capability in providing specialised goods such as tractors, stand to benefit from such tenders. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide competitive pricing and reliable products without the need for a competitive tendering process are particularly well-suited for engagements with sub-central governmental bodies like Dacorum Borough Council.
