UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council procured two mounted tractor mowers for grounds maintenance: an MJTDR490 and an MJ76-360 Contoura. The purchase falls within the wider category of grounds-maintenance equipment and is for use in the Nottingham area. The council is the public-sector buyer, responsible for the requirement and its delivery. The equipment is supplied as goods rather than as a maintenance, construction or landscaping service. The specified machinery is intended for organisations that manufacture, distribute or supply mounted tractor mowers and comparable grounds-maintenance equipment. The requirement is focused on supplying the identified mower models, rather than providing the council’s ongoing grounds maintenance operations or general horticultural services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Gedling Borough Council made a direct award through ESPO Framework Reference 274_22, using a below-threshold route. Russell’s (Kirkbymoorside) Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £61,776. The award covers one completed lot and the contract remains active. The evaluation basis was therefore the framework and direct-award route rather than a new open competition. This outcome identifies the selected supplier, the agreed equipment requirement and the council’s planned contract duration for the purchase.

This award is commercially relevant to suppliers of mounted tractor mowers and specialist grounds-maintenance equipment, particularly businesses able to provide machinery equivalent to the MJTDR490 and MJ76-360 Contoura. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be fulfilled by a focused equipment business rather than only a large national contractor. A credible future competitor would need product knowledge, access to suitable tractor-mounted mowing equipment, and the operational capacity to supply two machines to a local authority through the relevant ESPO framework route. Familiarity with public-sector framework purchasing and the ability to support a council equipment requirement would strengthen a supplier’s position when Gedling Borough Council next assesses comparable machinery needs.
