OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire is procuring a framework for winter gritting and snow clearance services across its estate in Lanarkshire. The requirement covers approximately 60 sites, including large acute hospitals and small rural GP practices, to maintain safe access and continuity of services during adverse weather when in-house teams cannot provide sufficient support. This is an external winter maintenance and snow-clearing service, classified under CPV 77314000. Work is divided into four geographical lots: Upper Clydesdale, Monklands, Hamilton and Central. The framework is intended for services typically needed during winter seasons from October to April. Suppliers may therefore need to cover healthcare premises and rural locations across Lanarkshire, with appropriate operational arrangements for different site types and geographical areas.

The buyer invited offers at tender stage through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for bids was 21 September 2026 at 12:00, when bids were also scheduled to be opened; evaluation was scheduled to begin at that time. The estimated total procurement value is £420,000. The framework is divided into four lots, each with an initial contract duration of 360 days and an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. Suppliers can bid for any number of lots, but a supplier may be awarded no more than two. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. Each lot is evaluated on quality and price, weighted equally at 50% each. Variants are not permitted.

This opportunity suits contractors with established winter maintenance operations, including the equipment, trained staff and response arrangements needed for gritting and snow clearance at healthcare sites. Relevant suppliers are those able to support large hospitals as well as smaller rural GP practices, work across one or more of the Upper Clydesdale, Monklands, Hamilton and Central areas, and respond when NHS Lanarkshire’s in-house teams cannot meet demand. The four-lot structure allows businesses to target their operational area, while the award limit of two lots may also suit firms with substantial but geographically focused capacity. Strong technical service delivery matters as much as price, since quality and cost carry equal weight in evaluation. The framework may provide repeat seasonal work through its extension options and future call-offs.
