Summary of the contracting process

Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government - Commercial Delivery is overseeing the contract process titled "Supply of Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework". This procurement falls under the goods category and is designed to supply rock salt and related de-icing products across Wales. This project has recently reached the contract update stage as of 6th February 2025. The initial contract, valued at £14,360,000, commenced on 1st July 2021 and is now scheduled to end on 31st March 2025, earlier than originally planned, to align with the salt industry's pricing cycles. The related CPV classifications include minerals, de-icing salt, and other related products.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in the manufacture or supply of de-icing products and minerals. As a framework agreement, it allows multiple suppliers to engage and compete, fostering a diverse supply chain. Notably, the updated contract terms to conclude earlier provide a strategic advantage for businesses aiming to align their pricing with industry standards, thus ensuring competitive and stable pricing. SMEs with the capacity to supply large volumes required for public sector needs across Wales are particularly well-suited to benefit from and compete in this procurement process.
