UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured one Tri-Max Snake 320 MLS Mower, a commercial grounds-maintenance machine classified as a mower. The requirement is for the supply of the mower rather than a wider maintenance, servicing or landscaping service. The buying organisation is the Council of the City of Wakefield, a local public authority based in Wakefield. The equipment is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a single-item goods requirement, relevant to manufacturers, authorised dealers, agricultural and grounds-care machinery distributors, and suppliers able to source and deliver the specified Tri-Max model. Businesses focused solely on service provision, landscaping labour or general facilities management are less closely aligned with the requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete at tender stage. RFS (RIPON) LIMITED was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract is active for one year, from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. Its gross value is £27,588. The procurement used a below-threshold procedure, with the published method described as unknown. It comprised one completed lot covering the mower supply. The award covers the mower classified under CPV 16310000. The available outcome shows one active award to RFS (RIPON) LIMITED. The contracting authority is the Council of the City of Wakefield, and the requirement was treated as below the relevant threshold.

This award shows that the Council of the City of Wakefield buys specialist commercial grounds-care equipment as a standalone goods requirement, rather than necessarily bundling machinery with landscaping or maintenance services. Competitors for a future requirement of this type would need to supply the specified Tri-Max Snake 320 MLS Mower, or demonstrate reliable access to the same manufacturer’s equipment, and manage delivery to a UK public-sector customer. The successful supplier is recorded as a large business, so suppliers of comparable scale and distribution capacity may be well placed. Machinery dealers, agricultural equipment distributors and grounds-maintenance equipment specialists can use this award as evidence of the buyer’s purchasing pattern and the need to monitor similar below-threshold opportunities.
