Summary of the contracting process

Citizen Housing Group Ltd procured the supply, servicing and repair of large ride-on mowers used for ground maintenance. The requirement covers both the equipment and the associated maintenance support, including repairs and installation services. The buyer is a housing organisation based in Birmingham. The work is intended to support the buyer’s operational ground-maintenance requirements, with particular relevance to suppliers of ride-on mowing equipment, manufacturer-authorised servicing and technical support. The procurement relates specifically to Ferris mowers, so businesses with knowledge of this product range and the ability to maintain equipment to the required quality and service standards are most closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to T. H. White Limited on 1 June 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £67,000 excluding VAT, or £80,000 including VAT. This was a single-lot, below-threshold procurement using a route recorded as below threshold. The award followed the buyer’s previous tender exercise in 2021. T. H. White committed to maintain the existing quality standards and service levels, and was identified as the manufacturer’s preferred supplier for Ferris mowers. The awarded supplier is a large business and the contract remains active.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Citizen Housing for a combined ride-on mower supply, servicing and repair capability rather than equipment sales alone. A credible future competitor would need strong product knowledge, technical expertise and the capacity to support operational ground-maintenance equipment throughout the contract lifecycle. Experience maintaining large ride-on mowers, carrying out repairs and installation work, and meeting defined service levels would be important. Manufacturer authorisation or preferred-supplier status for Ferris mowers was a clear strength in the award decision, so businesses without that relationship would need to demonstrate equivalent technical competence, reliable access to parts and effective after-sales support. The buyer’s previous tender and continued use of established rates indicate that continuity, consistent quality and dependable service are commercially significant.
