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, planned using local weather monitoring and forecasting. It is a services contract for maintaining safe access and operational areas during winter conditions, including the full management of these activities. The procurement is classified under CPV 77314000, relating to grounds maintenance. The named delivery location is University Hospital Monklands, while the contract title and service description identify University Hospital Wishaw; suppliers should check the specification and site plan carefully. NHS Lanarkshire is the buying organisation, based in Bothwell. The requirement is presented as a single lot and concerns a hospital environment where reliable winter response and coordinated operational delivery are central to the service.

The process reached tender: NHS Lanarkshire invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender return deadline, as amended, was 23 September 2026 at 17:00, and tenders were scheduled to open on 24 September 2026 at 08:00. The estimated procurement value is £138 GBP. The initial contract period is 360 days, with an option to extend twice for 12 months each time. Bids must remain valid for 180 days. Evaluation is equally weighted between quality, at 50%, and price, at 50%. Variants are not allowed, and submissions must be in English. The procurement uses one lot, with suitability requirements set out in the invitation-to-tender documents. Electronic payment and ordering are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist winter maintenance, grounds maintenance and site-services contractors able to deliver gritting, salting and snow clearance as a managed service for a hospital. Suppliers need the operational capability to monitor local weather and forecasts, plan responsive treatment, and coordinate snow clearance and salt or grit application across the required site. The requirement is likely to suit businesses with dependable winter equipment, trained staff, suitable standby and mobilisation arrangements, and experience working safely around critical public facilities. Tenderers should be prepared to demonstrate suitability through the invitation-to-tender requirements and complete the specified quality and commercial responses. The procurement also requires declarations covering canvassing, non-collusive tendering, serious organised crime, human trafficking and labour exploitation, so bidders need appropriate governance and compliance controls.
