Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council, located in Nottingham with its office at Loxley House, Station Street, procured a contract titled "CPU 8163 Purchase of Aquasol salt tablets" as part of a complete procurement process. The procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically focusing on rock salt for the London Road Heat Station to ensure effective water softening operations. The tender has concluded, with key dates reflecting an award on 16th February 2026, lasting until 31st January 2027. This procurement process followed a "Below threshold - unknown" method and saw Nottingham City Council as the buyer and BAG OF SALT LIMITED as the supplier. While the contract is now active, it is tied to a legal framework under the UKPGA 2023/54.

The procurement represents a business opportunity for suppliers specialising in the provision of salt products, particularly those adept in supplying aquasol salt tablets for industrial water treatment applications. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like BAG OF SALT LIMITED, which focus on delivering rock salt, are well-suited to engage with such contracts due to their specialised knowledge and competitive offerings. Engaging in similar tender processes with public authorities, such as sub-central government entities, can enhance business growth through steady contracts and partnerships within the public sector.
