Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council bought specialist turf-care machinery for maintaining football pitches: a Redexim Verti-Drain 7626 aerator, Redexim Overseeder 3D 1.5m, Muratori 350LT hopper with stainless-steel construction and hot-galvanised frame, Sisis Quadraplay 2.4m turf groomer, and Sisis Auto Rake MK5 with scarifying reel. This is a supply contract for agricultural and grounds-maintenance machinery, rather than a works or groundskeeping service. The equipment is intended for football-pitch maintenance. The recorded delivery coverage spans England, but identifies no specific towns or delivery sites. The contract is governed by the procurement documents and Plymouth City Council’s goods terms and conditions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Devon Garden Machinery, an SME based in Torquay. Plymouth City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its recorded value is £75,963 excluding VAT and £91,155.60 including VAT. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through the limited competition, but the published details do not set out the evaluation criteria or weightings. This outcome establishes the selected supplier and contract value for the specified package of pitch-maintenance machinery.

For this buyer’s future requirement, credible competitors would need to supply the specified class of specialist turf-maintenance equipment, including pitch aeration, overseeding, scarifying, grooming and spreading machinery. The awarded package combines several named manufacturer models, so suppliers with access to comparable equipment from these brands or suitable alternatives would be well placed to respond to a similar requirement. The award to a small supplier shows that this package was delivered by an SME, rather than requiring a large-scale contractor. A supplier should be able to provide the full equipment range under council goods terms and coordinate delivery across the stated English coverage. This is a machinery supply opportunity, not a contract for operating or maintaining football pitches.
