Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Worcestershire County Council involved a tender for the supply of de-icing salt and associated products and services, under the ESPO Framework 220, valued at £133,518. The tender's classification falls under the industry category of road salt. This procurement was conducted as a selective process via a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 6th January 2026 and concluded on 31st March 2026. The physical delivery location for the goods is vested in Worcester, England, with the postal code WR5 2NP, and the primary contact for this process was Claire Wooding from Worcestershire County Council.

This tender offers substantial opportunity for growth, particularly for large-scale suppliers in the goods sector equipped to provide de-icing salt. The call-off framework approach allows well-established businesses with pre-existing framework agreements to extend their market reach. Although not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, the awarded supplier, Compass Minerals UK Limited, exemplifies the opportunity for large enterprises to secure public sector contracts, strengthening their portfolio and demonstrating their capability in fulfilling high-value contracts with strict municipal needs.
