Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process, initiated by DfI Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM), is focused on the supply and delivery of ground rock salt, specified for de-icing highways and footpaths across the UK, with particular delivery to the region of Northern Ireland (UKN). Classified under the goods category with CPV code 14410000, this procurement process aims to ensure timely and effective road maintenance, especially during winter. The procurement stage is currently at the award and contract update phase, and the contract holds a significant value, signed at £17,615,000 GBP. The contract period initially planned for 1,800 days, was extended due to unforeseen circumstances necessitating increased winter maintenance activities.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of rock salt, particularly benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises like The Irish Salt Mining Exploration Company Ltd, who have been actively awarded and are fulfilling the contract. Suppliers who specialise in logistical efficiency and quality delivery in regions with demanding winter road management will find this contract promising. Companies that can adapt to increased demand during extended contract periods are especially well-suited to benefit from such procurement opportunities, emphasizing readiness to scale and deliver above initial projections.
