Businesses that specialise in the production or distribution of de-icing salt products are particularly well-suited to take advantage of this framework agreement. With up to five suppliers appointed per lot, companies have the chance to demonstrate competitive pricing strategies and secure ongoing contracts through annual mini competitions, helping to expand their market reach and establish a stronghold in the regional supply chain. This framework promotes regional growth by ensuring local businesses can actively participate in public sector contracts across Devon and surrounding areas.
