## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Winter Maintenance Support" under an open procedure. The project addresses the need for maintaining highways during adverse weather conditions, ensuring safety from snow, ice, and other obstructions. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of snow-clearing services, involves a framework agreement with a direct award method for call-offs, split into two lots: Night Patrol Drivers and Adverse Weather Support. The procurement process has progressed to the award stage as of 11 November 2025, with contracts active from 12 November 2025 until 30 September 2029. The location for service delivery includes regions in the United Kingdom, specifically within the code UKE41.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in snow-clearing and highway maintenance services. Companies like B T Snowden, E.B Commercials, and CHELLOW CONSTRUCTION LTD, which have been awarded the contract, exemplify the type of businesses well-suited to these opportunities. The framework's ad-hoc nature allows flexibility and can accommodate varying demands based on weather conditions, providing room for business growth by participating in critical public safety operations. SMEs capable of delivering high-quality snow-clearing services stand to benefit through sustained engagement over the contract's multiple-year duration.

## Notice

The Council has a statutory duty to clear the highway so far as is reasonably practicable, so that safe passage along the highway is not endangered by snow or ice or other obstructions. In times of adverse weather conditions, the Council requires a supplement its own resources to ensure that it can keep the highways safe for vehicles and pedestrians. The Council is seeking to appoint a framework of suppliers who can deliver support on an ad-hoc basis only. The Council cannot provide details of the volume of support required. Requirements will be subject to weather conditions. The framework will be split into 2 lots: * Lot 1 - Night Patrol Drivers (driver only, the Council will provide a bulk gritter (HGV)) * Lot 2 - Adverse Weather Support (the tenderer will provide the operator, plant / vehicle & equipment) Tenderers can submit a bid for one or both lots
