Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by National Highways involved the purchase of 120 tonnes of white salt. The contract, titled "South East Area NWT White Salt - Area 3," falls under the industry category of road salt and is geographically focused on the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, involving a direct award through the ESPO De-Icing Salt framework, with the procurement stage currently at the award phase. The contract, valued at £15,810, commenced on 4th February 2025 and concluded on 5th February 2025. The tendering period ended on 31st January 2025, ensuring the timely procurement of necessary goods for public safety during the winter season.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), that specialise in supplying road salt and related goods. As National Highways initiated a direct award process, businesses part of existing frameworks like ESPO can strengthen their relationships with governmental bodies by participating in similar tenders. This can potentially lead to long-term contracts and open new business avenues within the public sector, advantageous for companies with expertise in de-icing products and services. Companies not yet part of these frameworks might consider applying to increase their chances of involvement in future opportunities.
