Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is procuring the supply of salt for use in water treatment. The requirement covers salt and pure sodium chloride, as well as water-treatment chemicals (CPV 14400000 and 24962000). Delivery is required across England and Wales, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East and West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West and Wales. The procurement is for a utility buyer, with Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig also identified as a participating buyer under Welsh devolved regulations. The requirement is for goods supplied across a broad geographic area rather than for a single site.

The procurement has reached the award stage: the dynamic market was established on 20 July 2026. It used an open procedure through a dynamic market and a closed dynamic purchasing system restricted to utilities. British Salt Limited and INOVYN Europe Limited were awarded the single lot. The award date was 20 July 2026. The dynamic market starts on 20 July 2026 and has no stated end date. The lot is active, and the market is intended for members only. Bids could be submitted electronically, with no submission fee. Participation was assessed through a financial stability assessment and a pre-qualification questionnaire. The award was based on meeting the economic and technical selection criteria.

This award shows sustained utility-sector demand for bulk salt and water-treatment chemicals across England and Wales. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need dependable access to suitable salt or treatment chemicals, the production or supply capacity to serve a wide multi-region network, and distribution arrangements capable of supporting water-treatment operations across the buyer’s operating area. Financial stability is an explicit participation requirement, so competitors should be able to demonstrate sound finances. A completed pre-qualification questionnaire is also part of the selection route. The selected suppliers are large businesses, indicating that scale, resilience and established supply capability are relevant benchmarks for competing for this buyer’s requirement.
