The tender is currently in the active procurement stage, with the deadline for submission on 30th April 2021 at 12:00 noon. The total estimated value of this contract is £10 million, and the contract period will commence on 1st July 2021 and conclude on 30th June 2025. This framework aims to appoint up to five suppliers for various lots, including bulk de-icing salt and smaller bagged products, to facilitate ongoing winter maintenance needs. This tender presents a significant opportunity for local suppliers, particularly those in the transport and logistics sectors, as well as manufacturers of bulk de-icing materials. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide high-quality products efficiently will find this a fitting opportunity to expand their business. Additionally, suppliers capable of engaging in mini-competitions for future contracts under the established framework will have regular chances to grow their market presence within public procurement in the region. ## Notice The Public Bodies named in this document have a requirement to purchase de-icing salt to be spread onto roads during their winter maintenance programme period.
