PURCHASE OF 12 No. ETESIA ROTARY MOWERS

Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Streetscene

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Purchase of 12 No. Etesia Rotary mowers at £11,220.

Purchase funded via the Council's Grounds Maintenance revenue operating account.

Tenders were invited to comply with Council procurement rules with only two returns received.

Reasons for the decision:

To meet grounds maintenance service delivery needs in arising from current machinery reaching the end of its effective period of utilisation.

Alternative options considered:

Replacement of plant by way of hire/lease is not considered to offer good value to the Council and reduced flexibility how plant and equipment is managed throughout the course of their anticipated life. Outright purchase is considered the most cost effective option and provides greater flexibility in how the asset is managed.
