THE DANISH EXPERIENCE OF TENDERING WINTER SERVICE

In this paper an attempt is given to give an insight into the organisation and implementation of the winter service in Denmark. The paper will first set out a description of the organisation of the winter service management and warning systems, including the main differences between the Danish counties. Next will follow a description of the implementation of the winter service, using roughly the same categories as are used in Denmark to classify and invite tenders for the winter service: (1) Stockpiling and loading of salt; (2) Salting by lorry and tractor; (3) Snow clearing with lorry and tractor; (4) Other snow clearing; and (5) workshops and maintenance of winter service plant. For each of these topics, a short survey will be given of how the tasks are organised and tendered for in the different counties. Finally, a brief description of the joint tendering paradigms of the counties and the Road Directorate for the winter service and the future prospects for the service.
