Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Winter Gritting Contract for QE, Bensham & Spire House" was managed by QE Facilities Ltd, a public authority under the central government of the United Kingdom. The contract involves grounds maintenance services at multiple sites, specifically gritting paths and car parks, and is valued at £27,000 with a total gross amount of £32,400. The procurement was conducted using a limited method due to its below-threshold nature, and the contracting stage is complete, with Coatsworth Landscapes Ltd selected as the supplier. The contract period commenced on 1st September 2025 and will conclude on 31st August 2026. The recipient of the services is primarily located within the UK regions including UKC22 (Gateshead), among others.

The winter gritting contract provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for small to medium enterprises specialising in grounds maintenance services. Companies similar to Coatsworth Landscapes Ltd, which have expertise in offering seasonal grounds care services, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. The contract's focus on specific sites like the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and other associated locations in Gateshead highlights opportunities for suppliers targeting public sector work, concentrating on high-traffic areas requiring regular winter maintenance. Additionally, businesses with experience in handling regional contracts across the United Kingdom might find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their service reach and establishing a robust portfolio in the public sector.
