The requirement covers one Ransomes MP653 wide-area rotary mower, one Wessex Pro-Line Gen 2 RMX500 tri-deck roller mower, one Iseki SF237 out-front rotary mower, one Wessex CRX320 trailed mower and one Smithco Sand Star bunker rake. The equipment is for professional golf-course and leisure-ground maintenance, including wide-area grass cutting, roller mowing, out-front mowing, trailed mowing and bunker maintenance. The specified features include diesel or petrol engines, four-wheel drive, rotary or roller cutting systems, turf tyres, lighting, operator protection frames and manufacturer warranties. The main procurement category is goods, classified as mowers and lawnmowers. The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to P TUCKWELL LTD on 18 August 2026, with an awarded value recorded as £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 10 October 2026. The award covers the machinery requirement for Panshanger Golf Complex as a single procurement, rather than separately identified lots. The contract is for the supply of goods, with delivery to the golf complex in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement record identifies the award as active and the tender as complete, so this is an outcome notice rather than a current purchasing opportunity. This award shows a requirement for a specialist grounds-machinery supplier able to provide a broad package of golf-course maintenance equipment from established manufacturers. A credible future competitor would need access to wide-area rotary, tri-deck roller, out-front and trailed mowers, as well as bunker rakes, with the ability to supply equivalent machinery where permitted. Relevant technical capability includes matching cutting widths, transport dimensions, power requirements, four-wheel-drive systems, height-of-cut ranges, roller or rotary decks, turf tyres and attachments. Suppliers should also be able to support delivery to a leisure site and provide manufacturer-backed warranties, including two- and three-year coverage for some machines. The buyer's stated suitability assessment does not identify this requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs. ## Notice The Council requires the following machinery (or equivalent), delivered to its Leisure Contractor (Greenwich Leisure Limited) at the following address: Panshanger Golf Complex Old Herns Lane Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire AL7 2ED 1 x Ransomes MP653 Wide Area Rotary Mower * 65.2hp Kubota Stage V Diesel Engine * 3.3m Overall Cutting Width * 1.52m Front Deck * 2 x Impact Absorbing Wing Decks * Fingertip Joystick Control For Individual Deck Lift / Lower * 1.66m Transport Width * On Demand Weight Transfer System * Q - Amp Steering * 3.8" Display Screen * Permanent 4 W/D in Forward * On Demand 4 W/D in Reverse * Hydrostatic Closed Parellel Loop -Cross Series Suretrac System * Fully Sealed Maintenance Free Rear Axle * ROPS * LED Road Lighting Kit and Beacon * Turf Tyres * 2 Year Warranty 1 x Wessex Pro-Line Gen 2 RMX500 Tri-Deck Roller Mower * 5.0m Cutting Width * 2.3m Transport Width * 1.8m Centre Deck Width * 1.8m Wing Deck Width * 2460 kg Weight * 10 - 100 mm Cutting Heights * 60hp Tractor Required * 20.5 Acres Per Hour * Full Width Rollers with Scrapers * Anti-Scalp Discs * Gold Cut Blades * Independent Float on all Decks * Pro Lift System * LED Lighting with Strobe as Standard * Rotor Baffles Ensure Even Grass Distribution * 54 Grease Points - With Remote Greasing 1 x Iseki SF237 Out Front Rotary Mower * 60" Rear Discharge Cutting Deck * 35HP Stage V Diesel Engine * Rear Tool Carrier * Anti Scalp Wheels * Mulching Kit * Permanent 4WD Drive * Hydrostatic Power Steering * ROPS Protection Frame * Rear Weight Kit * 2 Year Warranty 1 x Wessex CRX320 Trailed Mower * PTO Drive * 3.2 Meter Cutting Width * 2.1 Meter Transport Width * 35HP+ Power Requirement * Height Of Cut Range 10-110MM * 9 Cutting Spindles * Front & Rear Full Length Rollers * Turf Tyres * Belt Driven Decks * Full Width Rollers * 3 Year Warranty 1 x Smithco Sand Star Bunker Rake * Briggs & Stratton Petrol Engine * Fan Rake Attachment * Front Plough * Hydraulic Power Steering * Hydraulic Rear Implement Control * 1 Year Warranty ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5f47d8e-5f4d-4836-86a4-6477d708521d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 18 Aug 2026 - 10 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council | | Locality | HERTS | | Postcode area | St Albans | | Postcode | AL8 6AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Welwyn Hatfield | | Electoral ward | Handside | | Westminster constituency | Welwyn Hatfield | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | P Tuckwell Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 16 - Agricultural machinery ### Codes - 16310000 - Mowers - 16311000 - Lawnmowers ## Release History - 18 Aug 2026 at 13:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5f47d8e-5f4d-4836-86a4-6477d708521d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5f47d8e-5f4d-4836-86a4-6477d708521d 18th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
