UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured three John Deere X350 ride-on mowers for its operational requirements. This is a goods procurement for mower equipment, classified under CPV 16310000. Delivery is within the Wakefield area. The named buyer is the Council of the City of Wakefield, a sub-central public authority based in Wakefield. The requirement concerns the supply of identical John Deere X350 machines rather than servicing, maintenance or grounds-management services. It is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, authorised dealers, machinery distributors and equipment suppliers able to provide this specific mower model and arrange delivery to the buyer’s area. The procurement has concluded and the requirement was awarded as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BALMERS GM LIMITED. The process used a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, has a gross value of £18,412, and runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. The award covers the single lot for three John Deere X350 mowers. The successful supplier is a Burnley-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the procedure used by the Council, but the published outcome does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. This is an awarded, below-threshold purchase rather than an invitation for further bids on this contract.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Wakefield Council for three identical John Deere X350 mowers, giving competing suppliers a clear indication of the equipment specification and purchasing scale the buyer has used. A credible future supplier would need reliable access to the John Deere X350 model, the ability to supply multiple machines as one order, and dependable delivery arrangements for the Wakefield area. Relevant businesses include John Deere dealers, agricultural and grounds-maintenance machinery distributors, specialist mower suppliers and smaller regional equipment firms. The award to an SME shows that the requirement has been deliverable by a smaller supplier, rather than requiring the resources of a national contractor. Businesses should also be able to handle public-sector purchasing and provide consistent product information and fulfilment.
