Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government Commercial Delivery (WGCD) has awarded contracts under the WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework (iv). This open procedure tender focused on the provision of rock salts and associated products across all regions in Wales, replacing the current framework expiring on 31st March 2025. The tender covered various types of salt, including 6.3mm rock salt, 10mm rock salt, marine salt, pure dried vacuum salt, and potassium acetate, with contracts being signed on 11th February 2025. The procurement falls under the category of general public services, and it aims to secure a steady supply of these materials to support public sector needs in Wales efficiently.

This framework presents significant business opportunities for suppliers, especially for SMEs in the rock salt and associated products industry. Given the large-scale demand and the four-year duration of the framework with potential break clauses, there is ample scope for sustained business growth and stable revenue streams for successful suppliers. Businesses specialising in rock salt production, marine salt, or chemical products like potassium acetate are well-positioned to compete in this framework, as shown by the successful bids from companies like Irish Salt Mining and Exploration Company Limited, Compass Minerals UK, J C Peacock & Co Ltd t/a Peacock Salt, SAFECOTE LIMITED, and Winter Service Solutions Ltd. This visibility and possibility of repetitive procurement cycles ensure continuous engagement with the Welsh government, promoting long-term business prospects and regional economic benefits.
