Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process for the "South West - Potassium Acetate Order - 10" has been completed by National Highways. This contract falls under the industry category of road salt and extends its delivery to multiple locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The tender was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The buying organisation, National Highways, is located in Birmingham, England. The procurement process concluded with the award stage on 24th November 2025, following the end of the tender period on 1st November 2025, with the contract period spanning from 25th November to 2nd December 2025.

This particular tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of delivering potassium acetate, especially those with existing framework agreements with National Highways. Given the nature of the procurement method, selective tendering may favour businesses familiar with framework agreements or those that can offer competitive solutions within defined terms. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may particularly benefit, as the suitability criteria indicate a preference for SME involvement, while voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not highlighted as preferred suppliers. Businesses seeking to expand into or operate within the road maintenance and safety sector could leverage this contract for substantial business growth. Safecote Ltd, a large company, has been successfully awarded the contract, underlining the potential for similar large-scale suppliers to engage in future opportunities.
