UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester is procuring winter maintenance services for snow clearance and gritting across selected university campuses and facilities. The requirement covers clearing snow and ice and applying grit to help maintain access and safe operation during winter conditions. The work is for the University of Worcester, a public authority based at Henwick Grove, Worcester. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to provide services across more than one university site or facility within the requirement’s scope. This is a services contract focused on operational winter maintenance rather than construction, equipment supply or general grounds maintenance. The procurement is relevant to contractors specialising in snow clearing, ice clearing, gritting and related winter-response services for institutional or multi-site customers.

The process reached tender: the University of Worcester invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission was allowed, with bids due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 September 2026 to 30 August 2028, with two possible 12-month renewal periods extending the maximum end date to 30 August 2029. There is one lot. Price accounts for 60% of the evaluation and the completed service proposal for 40%. The estimated tender value is recorded as £0 gross, while the lot value is recorded as AED 0 gross. The opportunity is below the applicable threshold, and the participation location is the United Kingdom.

This opportunity suits specialist winter-services contractors with practical capability in snow clearance, ice clearance and gritting. Suppliers should be able to organise and deliver responsive winter maintenance across selected university campuses and facilities, rather than serving only a single small site. The evaluation gives significant weight to price, so bidders need a cost-effective operating model, while the service proposal also carries substantial weight and should explain how the required work will be planned and delivered. The requirement is suited to businesses with the equipment, labour, supervision and operational capacity needed for winter maintenance at institutional premises. UK-based organisations are within the stated participation location, and suppliers should be ready to submit an electronic offer.
