## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by Yate Town Council, focusing on the supply of a Ransomes MP653 Wide Area Rotary Mower. This tender, classified under the agriculture and related products industry, is situated in Bristol, England. The procurement stage is now complete, having undergone an open procedure with a minimum value of £45,000 and a total estimated value of £75,000.

The contract was awarded on 21st September 2021, and the contract period is set to run from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2027.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in agricultural machinery and services, particularly those offering leasing and hire purchase options. Companies well-suited to compete include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide innovative solutions for the procurement of the mower and potentially participate in part-exchange arrangements.
