## Summary

Leicestershire County Council (LCC) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Soft Market Test for the Supply & Delivery of Treated and Untreated Salt". This initiative focuses on the category of road salt, with the engagement end date set for 8th January 2021. Suppliers are encouraged to provide information about their services to inform LCC about the market's capacity and interest in this commodity. The procurement process will take place in England, specifically from the Council's headquarters in Leicester.

This soft market test presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of road salt, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can meet delivery requirements and demonstrate their capacity to fulfil LCC's demands are well-positioned to benefit from future procurement activities. Engaging in this early-stage process allows businesses to understand potential contract requirements and align their offerings accordingly, fostering growth in a competitive landscape.
