UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of Calderdale has initiated an open procurement process for the Highways Winter Service Framework, which is currently at the tender stage. The procurement aims to cover various lots under the framework, requiring services such as snow clearing and equipment provision over a winter season stretching from 1st October to 1st May. This framework, located in Halifax within the region of UKE44 in the United Kingdom, allows for a maximum of 66 participants. The total procurement value is estimated at £6,000,000 gross. The deadline for tender submission is set for 17 June 2025, with the award expected by 24 June 2025, indicating a swift contracting period that starts on 1 July 2025 and concludes by 1 July 2029.

Opportunities through this tender are significant for businesses that are involved in transportation equipment manufacturing, winter maintenance services, and related industries. Smaller enterprises (SMEs) are specifically suited to engage in this tender, as all lots have been deemed suitable for SME participation. The open procedure ensures widespread competition, facilitating market entry for newer companies or those looking to expand their service offerings in winter maintenance and associated services. With lots focused on services such as snow ploughing, road salting, and gritting, businesses providing specialised equipment or subcontracted manual services stand to substantially benefit from securing a position within this dynamic framework agreement.
