## Summary

The public procurement process, overseen by South Ribble Borough Council, involved an invitation to quote for the supply and delivery of grounds maintenance machinery.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in the supply of agricultural machinery.
