Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire is procuring managed winter maintenance services for University Hospital Wishaw. The work covers gritting, salting and snow clearance, informed by local weather monitoring and forecasting, and includes the supply or use of winter-maintenance materials. The procurement is categorised as grounds maintenance services, with additional classifications for winter-maintenance materials and snow-clearing services. The item’s recorded delivery location is University Hospital Monklands, while the procurement title and description refer to University Hospital Wishaw. This is a single-service requirement for a hospital environment, so it is most relevant to contractors able to manage winter weather response, maintain site access and coordinate operational services around healthcare facilities. NHS Lanarkshire is the buying organisation.

The process reached tender: NHS Lanarkshire invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with no variants allowed. The buyer set the submission deadline at 21 September 2026 at 12:00 BST; bid opening and the start of the award period were scheduled for the same time. The initial contract period is 360 days, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. The stated value is £138. The requirement is one lot. Evaluation gives 50% to quality and 50% to cost, with price also listed at 50% in the lot criteria. Bids must remain valid for 180 days. Similar services may be procured again after the initial term or extensions.

This opportunity suits winter maintenance and grounds services contractors with the equipment, staff and operational systems to grit and salt hospital grounds and clear snow when required. Suppliers need to provide a managed response based on local weather monitoring and forecasting, rather than a one-off clearance service, and should be able to mobilise reliably during adverse conditions. Relevant capability includes route planning, weather-led call-out management, safe treatment of roads, paths and access areas, and coordination with a live hospital site. The requirement may suit established regional operators with sufficient vehicles, spreading and snow-clearance equipment, trained personnel, material supply arrangements and resilience for repeated winter events. NHS Lanarkshire directs suppliers to the ITT documents for suitability and selection requirements.
