Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester procured winter maintenance services: clearing snow and treating icy surfaces with grit across selected university campuses and facilities in Worcester. The requirement combines snow clearance and ice-clearing services (CPV 90620000), supporting safe access around the university estate during winter weather. The buying organisation is the University of Worcester, based at Henwick Grove in Worcester. Delivery is associated with the university’s selected campuses and facilities; the procurement does not identify further specific sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AA Salt Services Ltd. The award was made on 21 September 2026, following an open procedure. The awarded value is £63,720.53. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The original tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The stated requirement covers snow clearance and gritting across selected university campuses and facilities, rather than separate lots. The process records the contract as a services procurement. The award information does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed selection criteria.

This award shows demand from the University of Worcester for a supplier able to provide both snow clearance and gritting across university campuses and facilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to respond to winter conditions across multiple sites and deliver these two linked services reliably. The buyer selected AA Salt Services Ltd for the requirement, providing a relevant market example for businesses assessing the type of supplier appointed. The work is a defined winter-maintenance service for the university estate, rather than a broad grounds-maintenance opportunity. The stated suitability assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
