UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Holland District Council bought a remote-controlled bank and slope mower, a finishing mower deck and associated charging equipment. This is a supply contract for grounds-maintenance machinery, classified as mowers. The equipment is intended for use across a broad area of England, with delivery locations recorded in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The council is based in Spalding, Lincolnshire. The requirement is for a specialist machine package rather than general grounds-maintenance services: the main items are the remotely operated mower for banks and slopes, the finishing deck and charging equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Chandlers (Farm Equipment) Limited. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026, with a contract period from 22 October to 12 November 2026. Its value is £35,661 excluding VAT and £42,793.20 including VAT. The buyer used a limited competition below the procurement threshold. The published information records the machinery required and the selected supplier, but gives no further account of evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from South Holland District Council for specialist remote-controlled mowing equipment suited to banks and slopes, supplied with a finishing deck and charging equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to offer the complete, compatible equipment package, including charging provision, and demonstrate that its mower is suitable for safe and effective work on sloping or difficult-to-access ground. The selected supplier is an established, large farm-equipment business, indicating the relevance of machinery supply capability and the capacity to provide the associated equipment. The procurement used limited competition below threshold, so suppliers seeking similar work should be prepared to compete through a restricted route rather than assume an open tender.
