ScotRail are tendering for a single supplier framework for the supply and delivery of white salt and low corrosion salt for use at ScotRail stations and depots. Suppliers should note the site specific delivery requirements in the tender documents. Because of the nature of the ScotRail estate, suppliers will be required to deliver bagged salt to stations by hand to salt stores, not to a central location. Amounts required are likely to vary over the duration of the contract. Additional information: ScotRail are issuing the PQQ and ITN at the same time, to call-off from the framework place as soon as possible.

Contract period: 29 Aug 2024 – 31 Mar 2032 (7 yrs 7 mo)
Delivery: Scotland
Extensions: The framework is due to expire in line with the ScotRail Grant Agreement on the 31 March 2032. It may be extended for an additional 12 months, up to 31 March 2033.Second stage: up to 6 candidates invited to tenderVariant bids: not allowed

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Supply and Delivery of De-Icing Salt” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: Because of the time sensitivity of this procurement (in order to order de-icing salt before the upcoming winter), the PQQ and ITN are being issued at the same time. ScotRail will score the highest scoring compliant suppliers' ITN. ScotRail may not consider ITN submission from suppliers with non-compliant or the lowest scoring PQQ submissions. (SC Ref:786219)
