## Summary

The procurement process for the Salt Framework, led by Yorkshire Water Services Limited, has moved into the award stage. The aim is to provide bulk salt for clean water treatment facilities, covering both PDV and granular types. Yorkshire Water Services, based in Bradford, UK, operates as a public authority at the sub-central government level. This procurement was conducted using a selective, competitive flexible procedure with a legal basis under the UK Public Procurement Act 2023. The contract is set for 36 months, with a possible renewal of 24 months, and is valued at approximately £10.35 million gross. Awardees include British Salt Limited and Salt Express Limited, and the contract period is scheduled to begin on 13th November 2025, concluding on 12th November 2028, with potential extension up to 2030.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the salt manufacturing and distribution industries. As the framework agreement includes the issue of annual mini-competitions, there is potential for securing ongoing work through the provision of competitive pricing and reliable delivery proposals. Businesses that can meet these demands, particularly large enterprises and SMEs with strong logistics capabilities, are well-suited to compete. The involvement of multiple large and SME tenderers in this process suggests that both established companies and smaller players have viable opportunities to secure contracts, thereby bolstering their market presence in the utilities sector.
