## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council is seeking to engage contractors for the "Winter Maintenance Activities" tender, which falls under the general public services category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with key activities focused on winter service initiatives across the Scottish Borders. Interested parties should note that a planned future notice is set for 18th November 2019, aimed at identifying suitable third-party contractors who are equipped with the necessary skills and experience. All services will be delivered within the UKM91 region, specifically throughout the Scottish Borders.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in winter maintenance, snow removal, and road safety services to participate. Companies with a strong background in providing such seasonal services, including those capable of deploying appropriate personnel and equipment, would be well-positioned to compete. As the council maintains direct oversight of operational decisions, contractors with experience in similar public sector contracts and a commitment to quality service delivery will be particularly favoured in this procurement process.

## Notice

The Council is seeking assistance with the delivery of winter maintenance activities throughout the Scottish Borders. It is seeking to identify third party contractors who have the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to provide such services. The Council has an adopted winter service plan which details its operational approach. The level of service is principally around the precautionary pre-treatment of the primary network, through the application of salt. As necessary, it includes the removal of fallen snow using snow ploughs and the application of salt thereafter. The Council will retain decision making over the timing, locality and rate of spread of salt on its network. Note - All salt will be provided by the Council.
