Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, located in Harlow, has completed the procurement process for a one-year contract concerning gritting and snow clearance services. With the procurement method classified as 'limited' due to being below the threshold for competition, the process was concluded with an award on 20th November 2025. This contract, under the industry category of grounds maintenance services, was structured using a three-quotation process in alignment with the Trust's Standing Financial Instructions (SFIs). The contract period spans from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2026, and it entails a total value of £21,000 GBP.
