Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has finalised the Winter Maintenance Assistance Service Framework Agreement, awarding contracts to various suppliers for the provision of essential winter maintenance services. This procurement falls under the services industry category and encompasses several lots covering distinct tasks such as planned treatments on priority footway and carriageway routes, snow clearance on depot routes, and miscellaneous winter activities at council locations. The framework agreement is planned to commence from October 2024, spanning an estimated total value of £4.5 million, with individual contracts signed as of 14th October 2024. This process, procured through an open procedure, involved multiple small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) including Swans minicoach hire, Borders Machinery Ring, Irvine Plant Ltd, Ian Hunter T/A ST BOSWELLS MOWERS, Pearsons of Duns, and NWH Group Ltd, servicing regions within the Scottish Borders (UKM91) and Edinburgh (UKM73).

This framework creates extensive business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the region. Suppliers with expertise in winter maintenance services such as gritting, snow clearance, and other related activities will find this tender suitable. The focus on quality and competitive pricing, with criteria assessments of 30% quality and 70% price, ensures a balanced evaluation for businesses emphasizing both efficient service delivery and cost-effectiveness. The initial contract duration of two years, with options for up to two one-year renewals, provides a stable, long-term engagement. Moreover, community benefits are also expected when collective spend with a contractor exceeds £50,000, mandating contributions to local community initiatives, thereby promoting both economic and social benefits within the Scottish Borders.
