What is being bought

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.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Grounds maintenance services (77314000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 776395 median · 28.1 average (138 of 639 with a bid count)4 average (144 of 639 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)719 median · 9.3 average (4 of 71 with a bid count)2.3 average (4 of 71 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

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.",
