Summary of the contracting process

South Holland District Council bought a Ventrac 4520Y multi-functional tractor and attachments for grounds and landscape maintenance. The equipment package includes rotary mowing decks, a stump grinder, power brush, blower and rear linkage equipment. This is a purchase of grounds-maintenance machinery, including a tractor and mower. Delivery is described as covering regions across England, from the North East and North West through Yorkshire and the Humber, the Midlands, East and South East of England, London and the South West. The council is the buyer; Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitated the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Russell’s (Kirbymoorside) Limited. The supplier signed the contract on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 1 February 2027. Its value is £78,570 excluding VAT (£94,284 including VAT). It was a below-threshold purchase awarded through a framework, using a selective procedure; the call-off was not competitive. There was one lot, covering the tractor and associated attachments. The award is active and the contract is active. The published data does not set out an evaluation basis or award criteria.

For machinery dealers and suppliers serving local-authority grounds teams, this award shows demand for a multi-functional tractor package capable of supporting mowing and broader landscape maintenance. A credible competitor would need to supply a suitable tractor alongside compatible attachments such as mowing decks, a stump grinder, power brush, blower and rear linkage equipment, with the product range and delivery capability to cover the council’s stated English locations. The award was made to an SME through a framework route, so experience supplying public-sector buyers through relevant frameworks and handling a packaged equipment requirement would be commercially pertinent when this buyer’s requirement returns to market. The work is a discrete equipment supply rather than grounds-maintenance service delivery.
