Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council bought three ride-on mowers for its grounds maintenance operations. The requirement was for the supply of ride-on mowing equipment rather than associated maintenance or landscaping services. Delivery and use are associated with East Lothian, with the council based at John Muir House in Haddington. This is a goods procurement for a local authority, and the equipment category is classified under CPV 16100000, covering agricultural and forestry machinery for soil preparation or cultivation. The named buying organisation is East Lothian Council, which serves the East Lothian area. The requirement was handled as a specific purchase from the council’s grounds maintenance equipment and plant framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure and a mini-competition under the NEPO Grounds Maintenance Equipment & Plant Framework, Lot 1. Thomas Sherriff & Co. Ltd was selected to supply the three ride-on mowers. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £103,077. One bid was recorded for the lot, and it came from an SME. The procurement covered one lot and did not include options. The published award process identifies the framework mini-competition route, but does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria. East Lothian Council is the buyer and Edinburgh Sheriff Court and Justice is identified as the review body.

This award shows a defined requirement for three ride-on mowers from East Lothian Council and demonstrates that the council uses a framework mini-competition to buy grounds maintenance equipment and plant. Suppliers that want to compete for a comparable future requirement would need the capability to provide ride-on mowing machinery in the required quantity, understand the specifications and purchasing rules of the relevant framework, and respond effectively to a mini-competition rather than a standalone open tender. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was within the operational scale of a specialist equipment provider. Credible competitors would therefore include machinery dealers and grounds maintenance equipment suppliers with suitable product availability, public-sector tendering experience and the ability to meet the council’s equipment requirements.
