Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited bought 150 tonnes of white road salt for delivery to its depots across the North East of England. This is a goods requirement for highway winter maintenance: supplying salt used to help keep roads safe in icy conditions. The procurement was titled North East White Salt Order 13 and covered delivery to various depots in the North East. The buyer is National Highways Limited, the company responsible for operating England’s strategic road network. The requirement concerns the supply and distribution of road salt rather than road treatment or other maintenance services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to J C Peacock & Co Limited. The award date was 7 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 8 to 15 October 2026. The awarded value was £12,885. The requirement was placed as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original tender deadline was 6 October 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded for this award.

This award demonstrates a recurring operational need at National Highways for bulk white road salt delivered to multiple depots in the North East. A credible competitor would need to source and supply the required salt and coordinate reliable, timely deliveries across dispersed depot locations. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that capacity to fulfil a multi-site order is relevant, although the procurement was also marked as suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers with dependable stock, transport arrangements and experience meeting short, operationally time-sensitive deliveries would be well placed when this specific salt requirement returns to market. The purchase was made through a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would need access to the applicable framework route.
