Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Area 13 NW Brown Salt Order - 3," was conducted by National Highways Limited, with its headquarters in Birmingham, England. This selective procurement, implemented via a call-off from a framework agreement, pertains to the industry category of road salt services and is specifically located in the North West of the United Kingdom. The tender process has moved through to the award stage, with the award notice published on 14th January 2026. The tender period concluded earlier, with all activities now complete as of 13th January 2026. The contract was awarded to Compass Minerals UK Limited, with a total value of £74,789, and it spans a contract period from 14th to 21st January 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the road salt supply and service sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit from engaging in such procurement processes due to their suitability specifications, although this specific instance was awarded to a large supplier. Given the specialised nature of the procurement method, businesses adept at navigating framework agreements and selective procurement processes will find favourable grounds to compete. Companies with strong logistical capabilities and presence in the North West region of the UK would be especially well-positioned to participate in similar future tenders, providing potential for business growth and regional service integration.
