## Summary

Bristol City Council has undertaken a direct procurement process to source grounds maintenance equipment, specifically a Batwing Mower. The procurement falls under the agricultural machinery industry category and is aimed at supporting the council's operational equipment needs. The award stage of the procurement was completed as of 18th March 2026, following an initial tender period that ended on 2nd February 2026. With the procurement method being a direct award, the contract was awarded to T H White Ltd, a supplier based in England, with the contract period commencing on 18th March 2026 and concluding on 18th June 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural machinery, particularly those providing grounds maintenance equipment. The process is conducive to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its suitability criteria. Although T H White Ltd—a large-scale supplier—has already been awarded the contract, understanding such procurement methodologies can benefit similar businesses in preparing for future bids and enhancing their visibility within the public sector procurement landscape.
