## Summary

The procurement process involves Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, which has established a contract titled "Mini Competition for the Supply and Delivery of Grounds Maintenance Machinery". This opportunity falls under the agricultural and related products category, specifically focusing on grounds maintenance equipment. The tender was conducted through a mini competition using the YPO Grounds Maintenance Framework, with key items for bid including various mowers and machinery. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded on 2nd July 2017, and the contract period running from 3rd July 2017 to 2nd July 2018. The total contract value is £85,499, with the delivery concentrated in the North West of England.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in manufacturing and supplying agricultural or gardening machinery to expand their market presence. Given that Lot 1 was awarded to two suppliers, businesses that can offer similar products—such as ride-on lawn mowers, wood-chippers, and pedestrian mowers—are particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this kind. With Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council being proactive in sourcing quality grounds maintenance solutions, SMEs in this sector can benefit from participating in upcoming procurement processes.
