## Summary

Sheffield City Council bought 14 mowers for use in its cemeteries, together with a two-year service and maintenance package. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying grounds-maintenance machinery and supporting its operation in cemetery settings. The work is for the Council’s cemeteries in Sheffield, within Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, dealers and specialist suppliers of commercial mowing equipment, particularly those able to provide planned servicing, maintenance and support alongside equipment supply. It may also interest grounds-maintenance plant businesses and machinery distributors with public-sector experience and the operational capacity to support multiple machines used across cemetery sites.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award through The Procurement Partnership Ltd Grounds maintenance, plant and handheld tool framework. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12 noon, and the award was made on 17 August 2026. Russell’s (Kirkbymoorside) Limited was selected for an awarded value of £172,954. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2028 and covers the 14 mowers and two-year service and maintenance package. Sheffield City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement used a framework route rather than an open competition, with the requirement treated as goods for the Council’s cemetery operations.

This award shows a defined requirement from Sheffield City Council for a fleet-sized purchase of commercial mowers linked to ongoing servicing and maintenance. A credible future competitor would need to supply 14 machines suitable for cemetery grounds, manage delivery and commissioning across the Council’s sites, and provide dependable planned maintenance and repair support over a two-year service period. Suppliers should also be able to work through, or secure access to, the relevant grounds-maintenance, plant and handheld-tool framework, since that was the purchasing route used. The opportunity is relevant to equipment manufacturers, authorised dealers, machinery specialists and service providers able to combine plant supply with responsive after-sales support for public-sector grounds operations.
