The requirement covers approximately 60 sites, including large acute hospitals and small rural GP practices, to maintain safe access and continuity of services during adverse weather when in-house teams cannot provide sufficient support. This is an external winter maintenance and snow-clearing service, classified under CPV 77314000. Work is divided into four geographical lots: Upper Clydesdale, Monklands, Hamilton and Central. The framework is intended for services typically needed during winter seasons from October to April. Suppliers may therefore need to cover healthcare premises and rural locations across Lanarkshire, with appropriate operational arrangements for different site types and geographical areas. The buyer invited offers at tender stage through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for bids was 21 September 2026 at 12:00, when bids were also scheduled to be opened; evaluation was scheduled to begin at that time. The estimated total procurement value is £420,000. The framework is divided into four lots, each with an initial contract duration of 360 days and an option to extend by two further 12-month periods. Suppliers can bid for any number of lots, but a supplier may be awarded no more than two. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. Each lot is evaluated on quality and price, weighted equally at 50% each. Variants are not permitted. This opportunity suits contractors with established winter maintenance operations, including the equipment, trained staff and response arrangements needed for gritting and snow clearance at healthcare sites. Relevant suppliers are those able to support large hospitals as well as smaller rural GP practices, work across one or more of the Upper Clydesdale, Monklands, Hamilton and Central areas, and respond when NHS Lanarkshire’s in-house teams cannot meet demand. The four-lot structure allows businesses to target their operational area, while the award limit of two lots may also suit firms with substantial but geographically focused capacity. Strong technical service delivery matters as much as price, since quality and cost carry equal weight in evaluation. The framework may provide repeat seasonal work through its extension options and future call-offs. ## 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 | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562788 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract 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 01:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562788 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562788 Winter Services - 1.2 NHS Lanarkshire's estate comprises approximately 60 sites across Lanarkshire, ranging from large acute hospitals to small rural GP practices.
