Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency, acting for the Ministry of Defence, procured bulk ground fuels for use in England’s East Anglia region. This is a goods requirement covering fuel oils, classified under CPV 09135000. The scope is regional rather than national, so relevant suppliers need the operational capability to deliver bulk fuel across East Anglia and support the Ministry of Defence’s requirements. The purchasing organisation is the Government Commercial Agency, while the end user is the Ministry of Defence. The requirement concerns physical fuel supply and delivery, rather than fuel consultancy, equipment maintenance or construction work. It is therefore most relevant to established fuel distributors, wholesalers and logistics operators with suitable storage, transport and delivery arrangements.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Certas Energy UK Limited on 23 June 2026 for £7,932,650. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The award is recorded as active, and the contract has been signed. The process relates to one regional requirement for East Anglia. The published information identifies the purchase as goods and fuel oils, but does not set out separate award weightings or detailed evaluation criteria. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear indicator of Ministry of Defence demand for bulk fuel delivered in East Anglia through a public-sector framework route. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to fuel oils, bulk storage and distribution capacity, and the transport capability to serve multiple defence-related delivery points across the region. It would also need to understand framework call-offs and meet the compliance, assurance and supply-continuity expectations associated with a large government customer. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement is unsuitable for SMEs indicates a preference for substantial, established operators rather than small local distributors. Businesses with comparable national or regional fuel-supply experience are the closest fit for this requirement when it next reaches the market.
