Published requirement description1.2 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.
- Recurrence: The Board may choose to retender for this opportunity at the expiry of the initial term or optional subsequent extensions

- Suitability
Please refer to the ITT documents
- Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
- “Winter Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
