UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Beckett University is procuring winter maintenance services for its City and Headingley Campuses in Leeds. The requirement covers precautionary gritting, manual and mechanical clearance of snow from pedestrian areas, and mechanical clearance of snow from all main routes around the campuses. This is an operational grounds and winter services contract, suited to providers able to manage snow and ice risks across university sites, pedestrian routes and access roads. The work combines planned preventative treatment with responsive snow clearance using both manual teams and mechanical equipment. The procurement is for services, with delivery taking place across the university’s campuses in Leeds. The university is the contracting organisation and will use the service to maintain safe access and circulation during winter conditions.

The procurement reached tender: the university invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders could submit enquiries until 1 October 2026 at 12:00 and offers by 8 October 2026 at 12:00, using the electronic response portal. The contract is valued at £100,000 gross for the single lot. Its initial term runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with an option to extend for a further two years, up to 31 October 2030. Evaluation is based on price at 35%, service delivery and methodology at 20%, resources and equipment at 10%, experience at 10%, health and safety compliance at 10%, technology, monitoring and reporting at 5%, and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits specialist winter maintenance, grounds maintenance and snow-clearance contractors, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Strong candidates will be able to provide precautionary gritting and reliable manual and mechanical snow clearance across multiple university campuses, with suitable vehicles, plant, equipment and operational staffing. The evaluation rewards a clear service delivery methodology, demonstrable relevant experience, adequate resources and equipment, and robust health and safety compliance. Suppliers should also be able to use technology for monitoring and reporting, helping the university track treatment and clearance activity. Businesses with established winter-weather response arrangements, dependable mobilisation and the capacity to keep pedestrian areas and main routes accessible will be well placed. The procurement also gives weight to social value commitments alongside operational performance.
