## Summary

Halton Housing has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Hire and Maintenance of Mowers". This contract, classified under the industry category "Mowers" (CPV code: 16310000), was awarded for the hire and maintenance of lawnmowers, including two Zero Turn Mowers and one Outfront Mower. The contract value is £95,400 and it spans from 1st March 2025 to 28th February 2030, with an initial period of three years and potential extensions up to five years. Located in the North West of the United Kingdom, the procurement process was conducted through an invitation-only tender method, specifically designed for below-threshold contracts.
