Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council bought ride-on, four-wheel-drive rotary mowers for maintaining parks and green spaces. The requirement covered supplying and delivering the mowers to Glasgow. This is a goods purchase, specifically specialist grounds-maintenance machinery. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The council also reserved the right to source non-core and additional items from the awarded supplier, so the requirement could extend beyond the core mower supply.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Double A Trading Company Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 18 August 2026, at a value of £58,586. Glasgow City Council used a restricted procedure, a selective procurement method. The requirement was handled as one lot. Two bids were received, both from small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information does not state the award date, contract duration or evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from Glasgow City Council for ride-on four-wheel-drive rotary mowers to maintain its parks and green spaces, with delivery to Glasgow. Suppliers looking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to supply appropriate grounds-maintenance machinery and manage delivery to the council. The option to source non-core and additional items also favoured a supplier able to support requirements beyond the core mower supply. The successful supplier was an SME, and both bids received came from SMEs, indicating that businesses of this size competed for the work. Credible competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant equipment supply and fulfilment capability for a specialist, local-authority requirement.
