## Summary

Pembrokeshire County Council has completed a public procurement process for a framework agreement concerning the haulage of rock salt. The contract involves transporting rock salt from a supplier's mine in Cheshire to two designated locations within Pembrokeshire. The procurement adhered to an open procedure method, initiating a single-supplier framework agreement without reopening competition. The procurement process reached completion with contract execution beginning on 1st January 2026 and extending until 31st December 2028, at a gross contract value of £236,930.40. Located within Wales, the buyer operates under Welsh devolved regulations, and the awarded supplier is MDS Distribution Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the logistics and transport sectors, specifically those capable of providing goods-transport vehicles with drivers. Companies with robust fleet capabilities and sufficient resources to meet winter restock deadlines, maximum weekly collection tonnages, and contingency measures for busier periods are well-poised to thrive. Emphasising quality and price, this agreement prioritises capacity, fleet, and resource provisioning, with an overall framework value aimed at open and equitable business growth opportunities within the Pembrokeshire region. SMEs, in particular, stand to benefit under the selection criteria, which suit organisations of varying sizes, including those keen on expanding service offerings in the transportation of bulk goods.
