Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council procured road salt for its winter road maintenance operations across the Stirling area. The requirement was for the supply of salt used to support winter road treatment. The procurement was a single lot and was placed as a call-off from Scotland Excel’s Salt for Winter Roads Maintenance framework, without a further competition. The buyer is Stirling Council, based in Stirling. This requirement is relevant to salt producers and distributors able to supply road salt for council winter maintenance operations and deliver across the council area. The goods classification is road-maintenance salt (CPV 34927100).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Stirling Council selected The Irish Salt Mining and Exploration Company Limited, an SME, for the single-lot requirement. The contract is active and was signed on 14 September 2026. Its stated contract value is £520,000. The award date and contract period are not recorded in the published outcome, so no award date or delivery duration can be stated. The route was a call-off without further competition under Scotland Excel’s framework for salt for winter roads maintenance; the underlying framework was established through an open procedure. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The requirement was not divided into multiple lots, and the recorded procurement had no option for additional purchases.

This award shows Stirling Council’s demand for road salt to support winter maintenance across its area, at a substantial supply scale and through a council call-off from a sector-specific Scotland Excel framework. A supplier seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need dependable access to suitable road salt, the capacity to fulfil council-scale supply needs, and the logistics to deliver across the Stirling area for winter operations. The selected supplier was an SME, and the recorded competition attracted one bid, also from an SME; this demonstrates that a smaller supplier participated successfully, though it does not establish any particular qualification or experience threshold. Suppliers active in road-salt production or distribution, with reliable sourcing and delivery arrangements for public-sector winter maintenance, are therefore closest to this requirement.
