## Summary

Norfolk County Council is conducting a tender for the supply of bulk salt for highway de-icing, titled "Bulk Salt Supplies for Highway De-Icing". The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 25th November 2019. This initiative relates to the road salt industry and aims to ensure efficient gritting operations across nearly 50 priority routes in Norfolk. The resulting contract is set to commence on 1st May 2020 and will run until 30th April 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold, allowing for competitive bidding.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in road salt and logistics. Companies equipped to manage large-scale supply operations, particularly those with experience in providing goods to public sector clients, would be well-suited to participate in this procurement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the relevant industry may gain a competitive advantage by collaborating or leveraging their expertise to meet the specifications of this contract, ultimately contributing to the efficient management of Norfolk's highway maintenance needs.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to appoint a single supplier for its bulk supply of salt for highway de-icing. There are just under 50 treated routes in Norfolk's priority (P1/P2) network. Each time a countywide gritting action is called, around 2,200 miles of network is treated within three hours. This covers about one third of the whole network in Norfolk. Each full countywide treatment uses between 160 and 320 tonnes of salt, depending on the required gram weight, per metre square. The gritting operation is delivered from eight strategically located salt domes across the county, located at Ketteringham, Aylsham, Caister, Watton, Diss, Kings Lynn (Saddlebow), Sculthorpe (Tattersett) and Swaffham. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
