## Summary

The Welsh Government Commercial Delivery Division (WGCD) has awarded a framework agreement for the supply of rock salt and associated products. This agreement spans a four-year period, with the option for termination at the end of the second and third years. The initiative, titled "WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework", falls under the goods category and aims to replace the previous framework set to expire on 31st March 2025. The contract was concluded on 11th February 2025, involving various lots such as 6.3mm rock salt, 10mm rock salt, 6.3mm marine salt, pure dried vacuum salt, and potassium acetate, to be distributed across Wales. The procurement process was executed using an open procedure method, ensuring transparency and competition.

This framework represents a significant opportunity for businesses dealing in rock salt and related products to expand their market reach within the public sector across Wales. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in the production, processing, and distribution of rock salt, marine salt, and de-icing agents are well-positioned to benefit from this agreement. Participating in this framework allows businesses to secure long-term contracts and establish strategic partnerships with the Welsh Government, fostering growth through consistent supply and demand cycles.
