Salt for winter roads maintenance

About this framework

Framework period: 1 November 2022 until 31 October 2026

Scotland Excel’s salt for winter road maintenance framework a full range of salt and de-icing equipment and accessories including bulk and bagged rock salt, marine salt and treated salt to allow councils to deliver various public services.

Councils have a statutory obligation under Section 34 of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 to take such steps as it considers reasonable, to prevent snow and ice endangering the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles over public roads. This framework directly supports the councils in undertaking this key responsibility.
