The sites range from large acute hospitals to small rural GP practices, and the requirement is intended to maintain safe access and service continuity during adverse weather when the Board’s in-house teams cannot provide sufficient cover. This is a grounds maintenance and winter services requirement, including snow clearing. The framework is divided into four geographical lots: Upper Clydesdale, Monklands, Hamilton and Central. Services are typically required during the winter season, operating consecutively from October through April each year. The work is delivered across NHS Lanarkshire’s sites in these areas. The process reached tender: NHS Lanarkshire invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement. The total estimated value is £420,000. The deadline for electronic submissions was 21 September 2026 at 12:00, when bids were also scheduled to be opened; the evaluation period began at that time. Bids were required to remain valid for 90 days and could be submitted in English. Each of the four lots has an initial contract period of 360 days, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. Suppliers could be awarded a maximum of two lots, and variants were not allowed. Each lot is evaluated 50% on quality and 50% on price or cost. The procurement may be retendered when the initial term or extensions end. This opportunity suits contractors with operational capability in winter gritting and snow clearance, and with the equipment, vehicles, personnel and management arrangements needed to support healthcare premises and rural GP practices across Lanarkshire. Suppliers should be able to respond when adverse weather affects access, maintain service continuity across multiple sites and operate throughout the seasonal period from October to April. The four geographic lots allow businesses to target a defined area, although a supplier may receive no more than two lots. The requirement is also suitable for firms experienced in framework delivery and in working alongside an NHS client’s in-house teams. Participation depends on meeting the supplier suitability requirements and the economic and technical selection criteria set out in the tender documents. ## Notice 1.2 NHS Lanarkshire's estate comprises approximately 60 sites across Lanarkshire, ranging from large acute hospitals to small rural GP practices. To maintain safe access and service continuity during adverse weather conditions, the Board requires a framework for the provision of winter gritting and snow clearance services. The framework is divided into four lots to provide appropriate geographical and service coverage across the estate. This framework will be utilised where NHS Lanarkshire is unable to provide these services through its in-house teams and requires support from external contractors to ensure service continuity and site accessibility. The services are typically required during the winter season, operating consecutively from October through to April each year. ### Lot Information NHSL954-26-1 Upper Clydesdale Area Upper Clydesdale Area Renewal: Option to extend 2 x 12 months NHSL954-26-2 Monklands Area Monklands Area Renewal: Option to extend 2 x 12 months NHSL954-26-3 Hamilton Area Hamilton Area Renewal: Option to extend 2 x 12 months NHSL954-26-4 Central Area Central Area Renewal: Option to extends 2 x 12 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079730-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 21 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | The Board may choose to retender for this opportunity at the expiry of the initial term or optional subsequent extensions | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £420,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS Lanarkshire | | Locality | BOTHWELL | | Postcode area | Glasgow | | Postcode | G71 8BB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Bothwell and Uddingston | | Westminster constituency | Rutherglen | | Delivery location | TLM8 West Central Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 77314000 - Grounds maintenance services - 90620000 - Snow-clearing services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2026 at 08:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079730-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000840407 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=840407 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=840407 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00297 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
