## Summary

The Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the leasing of mowing equipment, explicitly aimed at supporting grass cutting services throughout the borough. The procurement, classified under the industrial machinery sector (CPV code: 42000000), employed an open procedure method. The tender was published on 6th November 2020, with the tender period ending on 7th December 2020. The awarded contract, valued at £900,000, runs from 26th February 2021 to 25th February 2024, covering multiple operational depots located in Ellesmere Port, Winsford, Northwich, Chester, and Neston.

This tender offers a notable opportunity for businesses specialised in leasing industrial machinery, particularly those that can provide the specified mowing equipment such as commercial ride-on mowers and UTVs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as the procurement terms appear favourable towards these business types. Companies with experience in providing maintenance machinery and equipment for municipal services would be particularly well-suited to compete and expand their market reach through this contract.
