Framework agreement for the supply of de-icing salt for the winter season 2026 / 2027

This tender, originating from Germany and sourced via ted, seeks to establish a framework agreement for the supply of gritting salt ('Auftausalz') for the winter season of 2026/2027. The contracting authority requires a reliable source of de-icing salt to ensure road safety and maintain public access during winter months. Framework agreements allow for multiple orders to be placed over the contract period without re-tendering each time. Key requirements typically include the quality and purity of the salt (e.g., particle size distribution, moisture content, anti-caking agents), delivery reliability to various locations, storage recommendations, and competitive pricing. Bidders are expected to be salt producers or distributors with the capacity to supply significant quantities throughout the winter season. The tender documentation will specify the estimated volumes, delivery schedules, quality standards, and contract duration. This is a crucial procurement for German authorities responsible for winter road maintenance, and interested suppliers should prepare to demonstrate their capacity and competitive offerings.
