The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with an open procedure allowing for electronic submissions. The tender closes on the 16th of July, 2025, and the award period starts on the same day. This contract is valued at £360,000 and covers services in the UKM91 region, specifically within the health industry category. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the deadline and ensure compliance with the detailed quality and price criteria outlined in the tender documents. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in winter maintenance solutions. Companies able to provide high-quality gritting and snow clearance services are well-suited to compete for this contract, which includes three lots focusing on different geographical areas and NHS sites. With the potential to extend the contract over four years, successful tenderers can secure a steady revenue stream and foster long-term growth opportunities in collaboration with a major public health organisation like NHS Borders. Furthermore, demonstrating community benefits through quality submissions could provide an edge in the competitive selection process. ## Notice Treatment (gritting and snow clearance) to car parks, access roads and footpaths around NHS Borders properties. ### Lot Information NHS Borders Winter Gritting Lot 1 Winter gritting / snow clearance to footpaths, roads and car parks to properties as listed below: Kelso Health Centre Kelso Hospital Coldstream Health Centre Greenlaw Medical Centre Knoll Hospital Eyemouth Health Centre & Day Hospital Earlston Health Centre Renewal: The contract is for 2 years with the option to extend for years 3 & 4 -
