## Summary

East Riding of Yorkshire Council bought a replacement narrow cemetery mower through its capital replacement plan. The machine is intended for mowing in narrow cemetery spaces between graves, where a standard mower available through the council’s existing mower framework would not meet the requirement. This is a purchase of equipment rather than a grounds-maintenance service. The delivery information covers parts of England across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The stated requirement is for one mower to replace the council’s current machine.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used below-threshold limited competition, rather than its existing mower framework. One lot was awarded to Russell’s (Kirbymoorside) Limited. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £33,495 excluding VAT (£40,194 including VAT). The purchase was evaluated through limited competition; the published process information does not provide further award criteria. The supplier is based in Malton, North Yorkshire.

For suppliers of specialist grounds-care machinery, this award demonstrates a specific council need for compact mowing equipment that can manoeuvre between graves in narrow cemetery layouts. A credible competitor would need to offer a mower suitably narrow and manoeuvrable for that confined operating environment, and show that it can replace the existing machine for cemetery maintenance. The council procured a single piece of equipment through below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers able to respond to a focused, equipment-only requirement are the closest fit. Russell’s (Kirbymoorside) Limited, an SME based in Malton, was selected. The requirement was handled outside the council’s existing mower framework because that route did not provide a suitable narrow mower.

## Notice

Requirement to replace current mowing machine via the pre-agreed capital replacement plan. Due to the areas in which this machine operates (narrow cemeteries in between graves) the requirement is for a narrow mower to replace the current machine meaning we cannot order from the current mower framework.
