The work covers regular gritting in response to forecasts from Met Office offices, together with additional gritting areas identified in the site plans. This is a practical roads and grounds maintenance requirement, classified under public utilities and related services (CPV 50000000), with the specific works classification 45233139 for winter road maintenance. The requirement is arranged as one lot and includes a regular gritting list, additional-area site plans and a quality questionnaire. Hillcrest is a housing association based in Dundee. The tender materials identify Explorer Road, Dundee, as the bid-opening location, while the service areas are defined through the gritting list and site plans. Community benefits form part of the requirement. The procurement has reached tender: Hillcrest invited offers through an open procedure, with responses submitted electronically. The tender deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00 GMT. Evaluation is based on price and quality, as set out in the scoring matrix; variants are not allowed and an electronic catalogue is required. The contract period is 720 days, with no renewal or extension option recorded. The estimated total value is £100,000. The award period was scheduled to begin on 5 October 2026 at 12:00 GMT, when bids were also due to be opened in Dundee. Bids had to remain valid until 30 November 2026.

This opportunity suits winter maintenance, gritting and roads or grounds service contractors able to respond to weather forecasts and deliver regular treatment across several identified areas. Suppliers will need suitable operational capacity, equipment and staffing to provide planned gritting and cover the additional areas shown in the site plans. They should be able to work to a published gritting schedule, interpret forecast information and maintain reliable delivery during winter conditions. The requirement also suits businesses experienced in producing clear quality responses, completing an electronic catalogue and addressing community-benefit commitments. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate how they will manage service quality alongside price, using the tender’s quality questionnaire and scoring matrix. Relevant local response capability and practical winter-service experience would support delivery. ## Notice Winter maintenance contract works including regular gritting to Met Offices forecasts. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Price and Quality as set out in scoring matrix. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564317 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 10 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 2 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | Hillcrest | | Locality | DUNDEE | | Postcode area | Dundee | | Postcode | DD2 1EG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM03 Angus and Dundee City | | Local authority | Dundee City | | Electoral ward | Lochee | | Westminster constituency | Dundee Central | | Delivery location | TLM7 Eastern Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 45233139 - Highway maintenance work - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services ## Release History - 10 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564317 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564317 Winter Maintenance Contract - Winter maintenance contract works including regular gritting to Met Offices forecasts. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.hillcrest.org.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000842463 - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=842463 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=842463 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
