Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited bought road salt for its South West Area 1 and 2 operations, described as Brown Salt Order 14. The requirement covered delivery to various depots across the South West of England. This is a goods procurement for winter road maintenance, specifically the supply of brown road salt. The buyer is responsible for strategic road infrastructure and requires material that can be delivered through its depot network for use in maintaining roads during wintry conditions. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers, distributors and logistics providers able to source, handle and deliver bulk road salt to multiple National Highways depots across the South West.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Compass Minerals UK Ltd on 20 August 2026, for £63,460. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated as a road salt goods requirement under CPV 34927100. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award, and the award status is active.

This award demonstrates National Highways’ demand for brown road salt supplied across its South West Area 1 and 2 depot network. A credible future supplier would need dependable access to road salt, the capacity to fulfil a defined order quickly, and logistics arrangements capable of serving various depots across the South West. Relevant businesses may include salt producers, bulk material distributors and specialist transport operators, either independently or in a delivery partnership. The framework call-off route indicates that suppliers seeking comparable work should understand framework purchasing and be positioned to respond efficiently to call-off requirements. The requirement is also relevant to smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises able to meet the operational and delivery demands.
