UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured the supply of 6mm de-icing rock salt for its 2026/2027 season. The requirement is for goods delivered to the council in South Gloucestershire. The buyer is South Gloucestershire Council, a sub-central public authority based in Bristol. The procurement concerns a single supply requirement rather than associated installation, maintenance or services. It is relevant to businesses that produce, import, distribute or otherwise supply bulk rock salt suitable for road de-icing, with the operational capability to arrange delivery to the council’s area. The awarded supplier is a company trading as Salt Sales Co under Irish Salt Mining and Exploration Company Limited.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Irish Salt Mining and Exploration Company Limited, trading as Salt Sales Co, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value is £90,650 excluding VAT, or £108,780 including VAT. The contract is active. The stated procurement category is goods, specifically rock salt. The award covers delivery of the 6mm de-icing rock salt to South Gloucestershire Council. The published information records a limited competition but does not set out separate scoring or weighting criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for 6mm de-icing rock salt to support South Gloucestershire Council’s winter-season operations. Competitors would need dependable access to the specified grade of rock salt, suitable supply volumes for a council requirement, and the logistics capability to deliver into South Gloucestershire. The procurement route shows that the buyer has used a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be identifiable to the council and able to respond to a focused competition. The successful organisation is classified as an SME, indicating that a specialist or smaller salt supplier with robust sourcing and delivery arrangements can meet this type of public-sector requirement.
