Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Borders Council has completed an open procurement process for the supply of salt used for winter road maintenance, as detailed in the contract titled "Salt". This initiative falls under the industry category of goods, specifically related to general public services, and is classified under the CPV code 15872400. The procurement was arranged through the Scotland Excel National Framework and covered the timeframe from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The contract was awarded to ICL UK(Sales) Limited, following an open procedure, with the final contract valued at £749,908. The location of delivery is within the UKM91 region, and the procurement was completed by the Scottish Borders Council headquartered in Newtown St Boswells.

This procurement presents opportunities for growth, especially for businesses engaged in the supply and logistics of goods for general public services. Companies specialising in large-scale supply chain management, particularly those capable of handling substantial deliveries like salt for road maintenance, would find opportunities in similar future procurements. While this contract has been awarded to a large supplier, ICL UK(Sales) Limited, businesses that have the capacity to offer competitive pricing and meet procurement criteria efficiently could position themselves favourably for upcoming contracts with regional or local authorities. Leveraging such frameworks can not only enhance a company’s portfolio but also increase their credibility and standing in public sector engagements.
