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