## Summary

Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh procured an Alpine tractor and flail mower for Dawyck Botanic Garden. The requirement covered supply, delivery and warranty maintenance of both machines, making this a goods contract for an agricultural and grounds-maintenance equipment supplier. Delivery was to Dawyck Botanic Garden in Stobo, near Peebles. The buyer is the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, an education-related public body based in Edinburgh. The opportunity would suit businesses that supply specialist grounds-care or agricultural machinery and can arrange delivery to the garden site, provide appropriate equipment support and maintain warranty obligations. The requirement was treated as a single package covering both the tractor and the flail mower rather than separate purchases.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. One package was awarded to HAMILTON ROSS GROUP LTD. The contract value is £110,000. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and is recorded as active. Five bids were received; all five were from SMEs and all were submitted electronically. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome identifies the award and supplier, but does not provide an award date or a contract end date. The process therefore records a completed purchase of the equipment, delivery and warranty maintenance, rather than an available contract. No separate lot values or multiple supplier awards are reported.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows that the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh buys complete equipment packages combining an Alpine tractor with a flail mower, delivery and warranty maintenance for a botanic garden site. A credible competitor would need to supply both types of machinery, coordinate delivery to a rural location near Peebles and support the equipment after delivery through warranty maintenance. The result also shows that an SME can compete for this requirement: all five recorded bidders were SMEs, and every bid was submitted electronically. Businesses with a suitable machinery range, dependable logistics and manufacturer-backed or equivalent maintenance capability would be well placed when this buyer next needs comparable grounds-maintenance equipment.
