RC Mowers, manufacturer of robotic and autonomous mowers, has been awarded a cooperative purchasing contract through Canoe Procurement Group of Canada, significantly expanding the company’s access to the Canadian public sector market.
Canoe is a nationally recognized cooperative buying group that helps public sector organizations across Canada competitively solicit contracts while remaining compliant with local, provincial and national procurement requirements. By leveraging the collective buying power of its members, Canoe simplifies purchasing and delivers cost savings and efficiency for participating agencies.
The contract provides Canadian municipalities, public agencies and nonprofit organizations with a faster way to purchase RC Mowers’ autonomous and remote-controlled mowing solutions. This streamlined access comes at a critical time, as public works departments across Canada face persistent labor shortages, rising operational costs, and increasing safety risks for outdoor maintenance crews.
“This partnership is a big step forward for RC Mowers as we expand across Canada and North America,” said RC Mowers CEO Michael Brandt. “Canadian municipalities are under real pressure to do more with fewer people and tighter budgets, while also keeping crews safe. Through Canoe, we’re bringing proven robotic mowing solutions to communities nationwide to help solve those challenges in a smarter way.”
Canoe works in partnership with Sourcewell, a U.S.-based cooperative purchasing organization that serves public sector entities across North America. Through this relationship, many competitively solicited Sourcewell contracts are extended or jointly administered in Canada via Canoe, providing Canadian agencies access to proven vendors through a compliant cooperative framework.
RC Mowers was awarded the Canoe contract following a competitive solicitation process designed to ensure transparency, value and supplier accountability. Eligible organizations can now purchase RC Mowers equipment directly through the cooperative, reducing procurement timelines from months to weeks.
