Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has established a Framework Agreement for Winter Maintenance provision at various Business Durham sites. This procurement process covers multiple locations, such as the Derwentside Business Centre and Salvus House, among others. Classified under snow-clearing services, the industry category requires expertise in maintenance activities pertinent to winter conditions. The framework agreement, initiated under an open procurement method and completed on 25th November 2025, involves call-offs dependent on weather conditions. It also encompasses a number of regional institutions like Academy Schools and Parish Councils, indicating broad regional engagement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in snow-clearing services to engage with public authorities in the North East. With the procurement process open to SMEs and social enterprises, it provides a platform for these businesses to contribute to essential winter maintenance operations. As price is the predominant criterion for award decisions, companies with competitive pricing strategies are well-positioned to succeed. The framework allows for established relationships over multi-year contracts, promoting business stability and growth through consistent service delivery across various business centres. Businesses focusing on public sector collaboration will find this framework advantageous to boost their presence and expand their operations in the region.
