## Summary

National Highways Limited procured 10,000 litres of potassium acetate for Area 9, described under the road-salt category (CPV 34927100). The requirement is for Order 3, indicating a defined supply order rather than a broad service or construction package. Delivery is to the East Midlands in England. This is a goods contract for a supplier able to source, handle and deliver potassium acetate in the required volume for National Highways’ operational needs. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of road de-icing materials, particularly those able to support highway operations and deliver bulk liquid or equivalent packaged product to the specified area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Safecote Limited was awarded the contract on 21 September 2026 for £10,162.30 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 29 September 2026. The tender submission period ended on 20 September 2026. The published requirement had an estimated value of £10,162.30 GBP. The award covers the 10,000-litre potassium acetate order for Area 9. The procurement record identifies suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It does not set out separate technical, quality or price weightings beyond the framework call-off route.

This award shows a specific operational demand from National Highways for potassium acetate used within its road-salt and highway-maintenance activities. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to the product, the capacity to fulfil a 10,000-litre order, and dependable delivery arrangements covering the East Midlands. Experience supplying road authorities, highways contractors or other organisations with time-sensitive winter maintenance materials would help demonstrate operational understanding. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework call-off process and meet its purchasing and delivery requirements efficiently. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller or mission-led businesses with relevant product supply and logistics capability may be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
