Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured the supply of liquid fuels for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers diesel, heating oil to BS 2869 Class D, gas oil to BS 2869 Class A2, kerosene and diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue). This is a goods procurement for petroleum and distillate products, classified under CPV 09130000. The council is based at County Hall in Matlock and is the buying organisation. The requirement supports the council’s operational fuel needs across its activities and locations in the UK. Suppliers in the commercial fuel distribution and bulk liquid-fuel supply market are the relevant businesses for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids were due by 10 August 2026 at 23:59. Derbyshire County Council awarded the contract to Standard Fuel Oils Ltd on 14 August 2026 for £2,300,000. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2028. The awarded supplier is an SME. The published requirement and award cover the full liquid-fuel supply scope rather than separately identified lots. The procurement was evaluated through the open tender process, with the award made to the selected supplier. The contract period and awarded value indicate a substantial, multi-year supply arrangement for the council’s fuel requirements.

This procurement shows established demand from Derbyshire County Council for a broad portfolio of liquid fuels and associated vehicle-fuel products. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to diesel, heating oil, gas oil, kerosene and AdBlue, together with the operational capacity to supply different fuel types consistently across the United Kingdom. Relevant strengths would include dependable sourcing, bulk storage or distribution arrangements, suitable delivery vehicles, accurate order fulfilment and the ability to manage regular public-sector deliveries over a multi-year arrangement. Experience supplying councils, estates or other organisations with varied fuel requirements would help demonstrate that the business can provide continuity, meet technical fuel specifications and manage the scale of the council’s demand.
