The procurement was conducted through a selective method using a call-off from a framework agreement and is classified under CPV code 34927100. The process reached the award stage, with Safecote Ltd chosen as the supplier. Delivery is planned for the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract period set from 16th December to 23rd December 2025. The contract valued at £30,750 GBP was awarded and published on 15th December 2025, marking the completion of the procurement process.

This tender provides noteworthy business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs capable of supplying road salt efficiently. As the procurement method was selective with a call-off from a framework agreement, companies with a solid standing in such frameworks would find a competitive edge. Businesses specialising in spot supply services or contract-based orders in the South West of the UK, and those with established logistics to deliver within short timeframes, are ideally positioned to benefit from similar tender opportunities with organisations like National Highways Limited.
