Summary of the contracting process

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured gritting and snow-clearance services for its hospital estate. The work covers grounds maintenance associated with keeping the Trust’s sites clear in winter, including gritting and snow clearance. Delivery is in the Hull and East Yorkshire areas. This is a facilities and grounds-maintenance requirement for a healthcare organisation, rather than a supply of equipment or a construction project.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust awarded the contract to Mitie Landscapes Limited through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £49,038 excluding VAT (£58,845.60 including VAT). The procurement was structured as one lot. The published contract information does not state a separate evaluation basis beyond the direct award route.

For grounds-maintenance businesses, this award demonstrates demand from a large NHS trust for winter gritting and snow clearance across hospital sites in Hull and East Yorkshire. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to organise dependable winter-response services across multiple locations and have the workforce, equipment and operational capacity to grit and clear snow when conditions require it. Experience maintaining grounds for a large, safety-conscious organisation would be relevant to demonstrating reliable delivery in a healthcare setting. The contract went to a large supplier through a direct award without competition, so the result does not establish a competitive scoring model or specific accreditation requirements. The work is a focused facilities service rather than a broad estate-management package.
