two.1.4) Short description
The Partner Organisations named in this document have a requirement to purchase de-icing
salt to be spread onto roads during their winter maintenance programme period. This
invitation to tender relates primarily to the requirements of Devon County Council, Corserv
Ltd (on behalf of Cornwall Council), North Somerset Council, Torbay Council, National
Highways shared depots in Devon & Cornwall, Devon and Somerset Fire & Rescue Service
and BCP Council. The procurement is also being carried out for the benefit of other public
sector organisations within the geographic county of Devon who can use the framework with
permission from Devon County Council. These organisations would then become Partner
Organisations.
The purpose of this tender is twofold:
(A) To select a supplier (or suppliers) to provide the Partner Organisations with their de-icing
salt requirements for the 2025-2026 winter spreading season, comprising a bulk order plus
additional top-ups as and when they may be required (forecast quantities provided,
indicatively). The supplier (or suppliers) in this context will be the top scoring bidder for each
Lot. They will be required to supply during the first 12 months of the framework at the rates
they submitted at the time of the framework tender.
(B) To establish a Framework Agreement which comprises qualified suppliers who will be
periodically invited to submit future quotations through ‘Mini Competitions’ to provide the Partner Organisations with their requirements for each future spreading season within the
duration of the Framework Agreement. This invitation to tender will identify suppliers to be
appointed to the Framework Agreement detailed herein;
Mini competitions for annual demands for years 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 will be
issued prior to the summer delivery period for evaluation based on price only.
Devon County Council is expecting to appoint up to 5 suppliers per Lot onto the Framework
Agreement for the supply of de-icing salt for each of the following:
