## Summary

The procurement process concerns a tender issued by Highways England titled "National Salt Saturators and Associated Equipment Assets Contract North & South." This project falls under the goods category, specifically within the winter-maintenance materials industry. The tender is currently active and was published on 5th June 2018, with a closing date for submissions set for 8th June 2018 at 23:59:59. The contract is set to commence on 13th September 2018 and will last until 12th September 2021. The procurement method is open, allowing for competitive bidding from various suppliers across regions including the North East, North West, and London among others.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying winter-maintenance equipment and materials, particularly those specialising in salt saturators and associated infrastructure. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender especially accessible, as Highways England is keen to engage with a diverse range of suppliers. Participating in this contract could enhance business growth by securing a steady stream of orders for essential winter maintenance services, thereby helping to sustain road safety during critical months.

## Notice

Salt saturators (and supporting infrastructure) such as brine storage tanks and rain-water harvesters are used by Highways England to produce and store brine solution that is used for pre-wet treatments for de-icing the roads during a typical winter season that commences annually from 1st Oct and lasts until April the following year. A number of these existing assets are approaching 10 years old, and Highways England needs to consider replacing these before they fail and potentially compromise winter service activities during a critical time of the year. This contract is intended to serve both Asset Delivery and Asset Support Contract Areas Nationally and will have the flexibility to order all supporting units as and when required by the client, following completion of an internal assessment of all depot sites. Two separate contracts will be on offer intended for two independent suppliers; One to provide units for the North and the other for the South. Tender Documents and an OJEU notice (under the temporary number 18-247355-001) was published on 4th June 2018. Highways England will be hosting a webinar for interested suppliers on Monday 11th June between 13:00 - 14:00. To register your interest, please email the Procurement Officer directly providing your contact details (full name, company, email address and telephone number), whereby registration details to participate will be provided to you. Closing date to register your interest is Friday 8th June @ 14:00hrs
