## Summary

Devon County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "CP2547-24 South West Collaborative De-Icing Salt Framework 2025-2029". This procurement involved collaborating with multiple local councils and public organisations to secure de-icing salt for winter road maintenance over the next four years. The procurement, valued at £10 million and conducted through an open procedure, was officially awarded on 2nd June 2025, with the contracts starting on 1st July 2025 and concluding on 30th June 2029. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation," and primarily services the region of England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers in the de-icing salt industry. The framework is designed to accommodate multiple suppliers, allowing up to five per lot, which supports competitive market dynamics. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are encouraged to participate, with arrangements made for upcoming mini-competitions focused on price for the subsequent years. This setup is well-suited for businesses specialising in bulk salt supply and those capable of managing competitive, periodic supply commitments. Being a part of this initiative could provide these businesses with a stable, long-term revenue stream and enhance their market presence within the public sector.

## Notice

The Partner Organisations named in this document have a requirement to purchase de-icing salt to be spread onto roads during their winter maintenance programme period. This invitation to tender relates primarily to the requirements of Devon County Council, Corserv Ltd (on behalf of Cornwall Council), North Somerset Council, Torbay Council, National Highways shared depots in Devon & Cornwall, Devon and Somerset Fire & Rescue Service and BCP Council. The procurement is also being carried out for the benefit of other public sector organisations within the geographic county of Devon who can use the framework with permission from Devon County Council. These organisations would then become Partner Organisations. The purpose of this tender is twofold: (A) To select a supplier (or suppliers) to provide the Partner Organisations with their de-icing salt requirements for the 2025-2026 winter spreading season, comprising a bulk order plus additional top-ups as and when they may be required (forecast quantities provided, indicatively). The supplier (or suppliers) in this context will be the top scoring bidder for each Lot. They will be required to supply during the first 12 months of the framework at the rates they submitted at the time of the framework tender. (B) To establish a Framework Agreement which comprises qualified suppliers who will be periodically invited to submit future quotations through 'Mini Competitions' to provide the Partner Organisations with their requirements for each future spreading season within the duration of the Framework Agreement. This invitation to tender will identify suppliers to be appointed to the Framework Agreement detailed herein; Mini competitions for annual demands for years 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 will be issued prior to the summer delivery period for evaluation based on price only. Devon County Council is expecting to appoint up to 5 suppliers per Lot onto the Framework Agreement for the supply of de-icing salt for each of the following: Lot 1 Bulk de-icing salt to BS3247:2011 + A1:2016 Lot 2 Bulk coated de-icing salt Lot 3 Bulk brining salt for use in saturators Lot 4 25kg bags in 1 tonne packs and 1 tonne dumpy bags of de-icing salt to BS3247:2011 + A1:2016 Additional information: The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk.
