Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "South East Area 3 Brown Salt Order - 03" has been completed by National Highways. This procurement falls under the industry category of road salt, with the buying organisation located in Birmingham, England. The selective procurement method employed involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The contracted value is £129,700, with the contract period set from 5th to 11th November 2025. The delivery is to take place in the South East region of the United Kingdom, and the award was finalised on 4th November 2025. The procurement stage is in the 'Award' phase, having reached completion prior to the tender period ending on 1st October 2025.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of road salt, particularly those capable of fulfilling orders within a short contract period. While the opportunity has been awarded to Compass Minerals, large-scale suppliers with the ability to engage promptly in call-off contracts from existing frameworks are well-suited for similar future opportunities. The procurement process shows a preference for firms able to meet the specific deliverables within the outlined budget and timeframe, making it ideal for entities that can offer swift and efficient logistics solutions within the UK.
