Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Limited is conducting a public procurement process for the supply and delivery of de-icing salt under the title "Supply and Delivery of De-Icing Salt". This tender falls under the goods category and is classified as "Road salt" (CPV code 34927100). The procurement involves a single supplier framework to facilitate the supply and delivery of white and low-corrosion salt to ScotRail locations across the UKM region. The delivery requirements include hand-balling the salt to site-specific storage areas. The notable dates for this tender include a framework contract start date on 29th August 2024, with an end date of 31st March 2032, and potential extension till 31st March 2033. The procurement method being used is selective, employing a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The tender stage is active, and the procurement notice initially emphasised the time-sensitive nature necessitating simultaneous issuance of the PQQ and ITN.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in supply chain management and transportation of de-icing salt, particularly those with capabilities in ethical sourcing and waste reduction, crucially aligned with the quality and sustainability criteria outlined by ScotRail. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) such as Mobile Gritting Services Ltd, a current contractor, are well-suited to compete given their agility and capacity to meet the delivery standards specified. Companies focusing on logistics, ethical sourcing, and innovative delivery solutions could gain a long-term partnership with ScotRail, enhancing their market presence and operational scope within the railway services industry.

Lot Information

Lot 1

ScotRail are tendering for a single supplier framework for the supply and delivery of white salt and low corrosion salt for use at ScotRail stations and depots. Suppliers should note the site specific delivery requirements in the tender documents.

Amounts required are likely to vary over the duration of the contract. Additional information: ScotRail are issuing the PQQ and ITN at the same time, to call-off from the framework place as soon as possible.

Renewal: The framework is due to expire in line with the ScotRail Grant Agreement on the 31 March 2032. It may be extended for an additional 12 months, up to 31 March 2033.
