## Summary

National Highways is planning a procurement process titled "Winter Fleet Vehicle Replacement (Area 5)" in the Winter Maintenance Vehicles industry category, targeting multiple locations including the United Kingdom, Europe, and further afield. This tender, which is in the planning stage as of 12th February 2025, aims to replace up to 50 specialist winter fleet gritting lorries along with additional ancillary products to ensure the safe operation of England's highways during winter conditions. The procurement process is scheduled to move forward, with important dates including a future notice on 2nd June 2025 and the contract period expected to start on 31st October 2025 and end on 1st September 2026. The estimated value of the contract is £10,800,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in winter maintenance vehicles, particularly those manufacturing gritter vehicles and winter equipment. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, fostering diverse business growth. Companies experienced in providing transportation and logistical solutions in challenging weather conditions will find this procurement especially lucrative, allowing them to contribute to the critical infrastructure and economic resilience of the United Kingdom.

## Notice

The Strategic Road Network (SRN) carries a third of all traffic and two-thirds of freight, provides business with the means to get its products and services to their customers, gives access to labour markets and suppliers and encourage trade and new investment. It is essential to the growth, wellbeing and balance of the nation's economy. The weather during winter can have adverse effects on the operation of the SRN and hence the wider economy. It is therefore imperative that National Highways remains able to maintain the safe operation of England's highways during winter conditions, both to fulfil its statutory obligations as Highways Authority and to ensure that the vital role the SRN plays in the English economy is resilient to winter weather conditions. Our requirements - which are subject to change, are to purchase up to 50 no. specialist Winter Fleet Gritting lorries with ancillary products
