This open procedure tender focused on the provision of rock salts and associated products across all regions in Wales, replacing the current framework expiring on 31st March 2025. The tender covered various types of salt, including 6.3mm rock salt, 10mm rock salt, marine salt, pure dried vacuum salt, and potassium acetate, with contracts being signed on 11th February 2025. The procurement falls under the category of general public services, and it aims to secure a steady supply of these materials to support public sector needs in Wales efficiently. This framework presents significant business opportunities for suppliers, especially for SMEs in the rock salt and associated products industry. Given the large-scale demand and the four-year duration of the framework with potential break clauses, there is ample scope for sustained business growth and stable revenue streams for successful suppliers. Businesses specialising in rock salt production, marine salt, or chemical products like potassium acetate are well-positioned to compete in this framework, as shown by the successful bids from companies like Irish Salt Mining and Exploration Company Limited, Compass Minerals UK, J C Peacock & Co Ltd t/a Peacock Salt, SAFECOTE LIMITED, and Winter Service Solutions Ltd. This visibility and possibility of repetitive procurement cycles ensure continuous engagement with the Welsh government, promoting long-term business prospects and regional economic benefits. ## Notice The purpose of this notice is to notify the market of the contract award for the Supply of Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework tender which has been conducted by the Welsh Government Commercial Delivery Division (WGCD). The WGCD acts on behalf of the public sector in Wales to deliver value for money from the procurement of common and repetitive good and services for Wales. The framework will replace the current WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework (NPS-CFM-106-20) when it expires on 31st March 2025. The new framework will be made available for use by all WGCD customers. ### Lot Information 6.3mm Rock Salt The supply of 6.3mm rock salt and pre-coated rock salt. 10mm Rock Salt The supply of 10mm rock salt and pre-coated rock salt. 6.3mm Marine Salt The supply of 6.3mm marine salt Pure Dried Vacuum Salt The supply of pure dried vacuum salt Potassium Acetate The supply of potassium acetate ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=148074 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Feb 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £20,000,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LLYWODRAETH CYMRU / WELSH GOVERNMENT - COMMERCIAL DELIVERY | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 5 | | Supplier names | COMPASS MINERALS; IRISH SALT MINING AND EXPLORATION COMPANY LIMITED-THE; J C PEACOCK & CO LTD T/A PEACOCK SALT; SAFECOTE; WINTER SERVICE SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products - 24 - Chemical products ### Codes - 14400000 - Salt and pure sodium chloride - 14410000 - Rock salt - 14420000 - Sea salt - 14781000 - Potassium - 24951310 - De-icing agents ## Release History - 17 Feb 2025 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=148074 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB497703 WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework (iv) - The purpose of this notice is to notify the market of the contract award for the Supply of Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework tender which has been conducted by the Welsh Government Commercial Delivery Division (WGCD).
