Garden Tools — Public Tenders

Procurement of garden tools and green-space machinery for municipal works yards, cemetery administrations and parks departments is a regular procurement subject. The product spectrum covers lawn mowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, brushcutters, leaf blowers and hand tools. The trend toward battery-powered and low-emission tools shapes current procurement decisions.

Challenges in finding tenders

Garden tools are procured decentrally by numerous municipal works yards and parks departments. The individual tenders are often low-volume and below EU thresholds, but in aggregate they form a relevant market. In addition, garden tools are frequently procured together with tools or as part of green-space maintenance services.

The growing demand for battery-powered tools (noise protection, emissions protection) is changing product requirements and creating new market segments.
