Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "NW Area 10 Brown Salt Order 6" was managed by National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, England. This tender involved the selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, focusing on the supply of road salt classified under the CPV code 34927100. It pertained to the North West region of the United Kingdom and progressed to the award stage with the contract officially awarded on 9th June 2026. The tender period ended on 8th June 2026, with the contract period scheduled from 15th to 22nd June 2026. The project's estimated value was £519,901.20, and it supports businesses classified as SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses in the transportation and infrastructure supply sectors. With an emphasis on delivering goods, companies that specialise in bulk material supplies, particularly salt suppliers, and those capable of fulfilling framework agreements would find this opportunity beneficial for business growth. The award to Compass Minerals UK Ltd indicates that large-scale, well-established suppliers with a capacity for fulfilling logistics demands in the specified timeframe may also have competitive advantages in similar future opportunities. Businesses looking to expand in the North West infrastructure supply chain could find such tenders lucrative due to the ongoing maintenance and development requirements of regional highways.
