Decision made
 

To
proceed with purchasing the 4 ride on mowers from the winning
bidder as detailed in the report.

 

Reasons for decision
 

 

The replacement mowers are
required to ensure continuity of service.
 
A procurement exercise using an
ESPO Framework has been undertaken and the winning supplier
provides best value for the Council.

 

 

 

 

OthAAlternative options considered
and rejected
 

 

Not to replace the ride on
mowers. This will likely incur increased costs if hire options are
utilised to maintain service delivery. Not replacing will impact on
service delivery as the service will not be able to meet current
schedules and demands without replacement mowers.
 
To not award to any bidders and
to restart the procurement exercise. Dependant on lead times, this
may impact on delivery timescales. There are no guarantees that
this would provide better value to the council.
