Summary of the contracting process

Hillcrest is seeking a contractor for winter maintenance services. The work covers regular gritting in response to forecasts from Met Office offices, together with additional gritting areas identified in the site plans. This is a practical roads and grounds maintenance requirement, classified under public utilities and related services (CPV 50000000), with the specific works classification 45233139 for winter road maintenance. The requirement is arranged as one lot and includes a regular gritting list, additional-area site plans and a quality questionnaire. Hillcrest is a housing association based in Dundee. The tender materials identify Explorer Road, Dundee, as the bid-opening location, while the service areas are defined through the gritting list and site plans. Community benefits form part of the requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: Hillcrest invited offers through an open procedure, with responses submitted electronically. The tender deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00 GMT. Evaluation is based on price and quality, as set out in the scoring matrix; variants are not allowed and an electronic catalogue is required. The contract period is 720 days, with no renewal or extension option recorded. The estimated total value is £100,000. The award period was scheduled to begin on 5 October 2026 at 12:00 GMT, when bids were also due to be opened in Dundee. Bids had to remain valid until 30 November 2026. English is the submission language. Electronic payment is available and electronic invoicing is permitted.

This opportunity suits winter maintenance, gritting and roads or grounds service contractors able to respond to weather forecasts and deliver regular treatment across several identified areas. Suppliers will need suitable operational capacity, equipment and staffing to provide planned gritting and cover the additional areas shown in the site plans. They should be able to work to a published gritting schedule, interpret forecast information and maintain reliable delivery during winter conditions. The requirement also suits businesses experienced in producing clear quality responses, completing an electronic catalogue and addressing community-benefit commitments. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate how they will manage service quality alongside price, using the tender’s quality questionnaire and scoring matrix. Relevant local response capability and practical winter-service experience would support delivery.
