Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield has completed a public procurement process for the provision of a Tri-Max Snake 320 MLS Mower. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically mowers, with delivery to the Yorkshire and the Humber region, Wakefield. Following the tender initiation, the contract was awarded to RFS (RIPON) LIMITED on 20th July 2026, with the period of service set from 4th September 2026 to 3rd September 2027. Being below the threshold, the procurement method details remain unspecified, yet the process culminated in an active contract valued at £27,588.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the industrial machinery or agricultural equipment sectors, especially those familiar with providing specialised mowing equipment. Companies like RFS (RIPON) LIMITED, which emerged as the supplier, show that larger-scale firms with established capabilities in supplying such specialised goods can effectively compete. Success in such tenders not only opens avenues in public sector contracts but also enhances credibility, potentially leading to further growth and diverse opportunities in similar categories across the UK.
