Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire is procuring managed winter maintenance services for a hospital site. The work covers gritting, salting and snow clearance, planned and delivered using local weather monitoring and forecasting. The procurement is classified as winter maintenance services (CPV 77314000), with related classifications for ice-clearing and snow-clearing services. The stated tender title refers to University Hospital Wishaw, while the delivery location is recorded as University Hospital Monklands; suppliers should check the specification and site plan carefully to confirm the operational location and scope. This is a services contract for a healthcare organisation, so it is suited to providers able to maintain safe access and movement around hospital premises during adverse winter weather, including responsive treatment and clearance operations.

The process has reached tender: NHS Lanarkshire invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 21 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with evaluation scheduled to start at that time. The stated value is £138, and the initial contract period is 360 days. NHS Lanarkshire may extend the contract by two further 12-month periods. Bids must remain valid for 180 days. Evaluation is split equally between quality and price, at 50% each. Variants are not allowed. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and submissions must be in English. The requirement is recurrent, with similar services potentially procured when the initial term or extensions expire.

This opportunity suits specialist winter-maintenance, grounds-maintenance or facilities-management businesses with the equipment, staff and operational systems to grit and salt access routes and clear snow at a hospital site. Competitors need to manage services against local weather monitoring and forecasting, implying the ability to plan treatments proactively and respond when conditions change. The work will require sufficient operational capacity for a healthcare environment, where maintaining safe access is important, and the ability to provide a managed service rather than isolated one-off clearance visits. Providers should be comfortable working to a formal specification, completing quality and commercial responses, and supplying the required declarations and tender documentation. Businesses with experience of winter services for large, complex or safety-critical sites are likely to be best placed.
