This is a goods requirement for grounds maintenance equipment: a ride-on machine designed to cut grass and collect the cuttings. Delivery is in South Ayrshire, for the council’s grounds maintenance operations. The buying organisation is South Ayrshire Council, a local authority based in Ayr. The requirement covered one mower rather than a wider programme of grounds maintenance services, machinery hire or landscaping work. Businesses relevant to this type of requirement include manufacturers, agricultural and horticultural machinery dealers, grounds maintenance equipment suppliers and distributors able to provide a suitable ride-on mower and arrange delivery to the council’s operating area. The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. South Ayrshire Council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, through the TPPL/NEPO Ground Maintenance & Plant Framework, Grounds Maintenance Equipment lot. The contract was awarded to The Double A Trading Company Ltd, an SME based in Cupar. The contract value is £39,495.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026. There was one bid, submitted electronically by an SME. The procurement comprised a single lot for the mower supply and delivery, and no extension options were recorded. The published outcome identifies the purchase as outside the scope of the relevant directive. This award shows a defined requirement from South Ayrshire Council for specialist grounds maintenance machinery rather than routine grounds maintenance labour. It is relevant to manufacturers, dealers and distributors of ride-on cut-and-collect mowers, particularly SMEs able to handle public-sector framework purchasing and deliver equipment to a Scottish local authority. A credible future supplier would need a suitable commercial-grade machine, reliable collection capability and the ability to manage delivery and customer requirements through an established plant or grounds-maintenance equipment framework. The single-bid outcome indicates a focused market opportunity for suppliers with the right product and framework access. Competitors should be able to demonstrate dependable equipment supply, practical delivery arrangements and experience serving councils or comparable grounds-maintenance users. ## Notice Supply & Delivery of a Cut & Collect Ride-On Mower ### Lot Information Lot 1 Supply & Delivery of a Cut & Collect Ride-On Mower ### Procurement Information "Yes TPPL / NEPO Ground Maintenance & Plant Framework (Ref: NEPO214) Lot 1: Grounds Maintenance Equipment " ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563509 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £39,495 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | South Ayrshire Council | | Locality | AYR | | Postcode area | Kilmarnock | | Postcode | KA7 1DR | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM94 South Ayrshire | | Local authority | South Ayrshire | | Electoral ward | Ayr West | | Westminster constituency | Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock | | Delivery location | TLM94 South Ayrshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | The Double A Trading Company Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment ### Codes - 43325100 - Grounds-maintenance equipment ## Release History - 1 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563509 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563509 Supply & Delivery of a Cut & Collect Ride-On Mower - Supply & Delivery of a Cut & Collect Ride-On Mower ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/procurement/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000841723 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
