## Summary

Warrington Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom, has initiated a tender for "Winter Gritting for WBC Livewire Sites". This procurement process is currently at the tender stage and was initiated on 13th August 2025. Interested suppliers need to submit their bids by 12th September 2025. The services sought include winter gritting and snow clearing, with operations spanning from November to March across the UKD61 region. The procurement is being conducted via an open competition, although it is noted as being below the threshold for certain requirements, and submissions are to be made electronically via the specified submission portal. This contract has a start date of 1st October 2025, with a completion date set for 30th September 2028, and options for two 12-month extensions.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in rock salt supply and snow-clearing services. Firms with GPS tracking capabilities for vehicles, experience in handling site-specific risk assessments, and possessing a strong safety record would likely have a competitive edge. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically noted as suitable candidates for this procurement. The emphasis on both quality and price with a weighting of 45% and 55%, respectively, allows businesses that can offer competitive pricing while maintaining quality services to thrive. Given the contract's renewal potential, successful bidders may benefit from a long-term business relationship with the council.
