## Summary

The City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) has completed a procurement process for 'CWC23211 - Ground Rock Salt (Highways)' aimed at ensuring safe passage along highways during snow or icy conditions, as mandated by the Highways Act 1980. The tender falls under the 'goods' category, specifically classified as 'road salt' (CPV code 34927100), and follows a 'direct award' procurement method. Activities were concluded in the 'award' stage as of 5th November 2024, with key dates highlighting the award date of 23rd October 2024. The contract, valued at £1,504,000, will span from 1st November 2024 to 30th September 2032, and includes delivery addresses in the UK and beyond.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of rock salt, especially those catering to public highway safety needs. SMEs looking to expand their operations within the British and international markets can benefit from such public procurement opportunities. The contract was awarded to Compass Minerals UK Ltd, spotlighting the potential for regional suppliers specialised in de-icing products to secure large-scale, long-term contracts with local authorities like the Wolverhampton City Council.

## Notice

Under the Highways Act 1980 (England and Wales) Section 41(1A) states: "a highway authority is under a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice. City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) completes its statutory requirement in accordance with this duty by treating the network with "De-Icing (Rock Salt)" so as to ensure, where reasonably practicable, safe passage along the highway is maintained. The initial term is 4 years with an option to extend for a further period of 4 years.
