## Summary

The Wealden District Council, through SE Shared Services, has recently awarded a contract for "ESPH AB WDC Winter Gritting Services (ESPH331 TI)" aimed at providing uninterrupted winter gritting services in the South East of England. The contract involves snow and ice removal across various sites within the Borough, including car parks and pedestrian zones, during the winter months from 1st October to 31st March. The open procedure tender period ended on 30th April 2020, and the subsequent contract started on 1st July 2020, with a total value of £500,000 set to last until 31st May 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in snow-clearing, ice-clearing, and related services, particularly those that are SME or VCSE registered. Companies that have experience in providing winter maintenance services, such as suppliers of road salt and associated equipment, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Engaging with local authorities like Wealden District Council can pave the way for further engagements and long-term partnerships in public service contracts.

## Notice

Sites include but are not restricted to car parks, access roads, yards, footpaths, pedestrian zones, steps, ramps, walkways, building entrances/exits and operational areas.
