Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured two Toro LT-F3000™ triple flail mowers. These are specialist grounds-maintenance machines for cutting and managing vegetation, supplied as goods rather than a maintenance or operating service. The named manufacturer and model indicate that the requirement is for specific Toro equipment, rather than a general mower supply. Delivery is in West Yorkshire. The buying organisation is Wakefield Council, a local public authority. The procurement therefore suits manufacturers, authorised dealers, distributors and equipment suppliers able to provide Toro LT-F3000 triple flail mowers to a council buyer. The requirement is focused on supplying the machines themselves, with the relevant product classification being mowers (CPV 16310000).

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to RUSSELL'S (KIRBYMOORSIDE) LIMITED, an SME. It was run as a below-threshold tender, with the recorded procedure detail described as “below threshold - unknown”. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its gross value is £99,470. The award covers one lot and the contract is active. The process was for goods and the selected supplier is identified as providing the two Toro LT-F3000 triple flail mowers. This outcome shows a direct public-sector purchase of named grounds-maintenance equipment by Wakefield Council, rather than a framework or multi-supplier arrangement.

This award is relevant to businesses supplying commercial grounds-maintenance machinery, particularly Toro equipment and triple flail mower models. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to the specified manufacturer and model, the ability to supply two machines as a single council purchase, and experience handling public-sector goods requirements. Distributor or dealer status, product knowledge, delivery capability in West Yorkshire and the capacity to support a council-scale equipment purchase would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement was within the practical reach of a specialist supplier rather than limited to a large national contractor. Businesses tracking Wakefield Council’s grounds-maintenance equipment needs can use this purchase as evidence of demand for named, commercial-grade mowers.
