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:

Lot 1 Bulk de-icing salt to BS3247:2011 + A1:2016

Lot 2 Bulk coated de-icing salt

Lot 3 Bulk brining salt for use in saturators

Lot 4 25kg bags in 1 tonne packs and 1 tonne dumpy bags of de-icing salt to BS3247:2011 +

A1:2016
