Gosport Borough Council has concluded its procurement process for the supply of mowers, specifically the Kubota F-391 model, to be used by the Grounds Maintenance Team. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically mowers, and is designated as below threshold without competition. The process is in the award and contract stage, having been completed as of 24th July 2025. Gosport Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, will receive the goods in the United Kingdom, with the contract commencing on 25th July 2025 and concluding on 25th August 2025.
