Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the "Supply of Ground Fuels to British Forces Cyprus," an initiative classified under the industry category of petroleum and distillates. This contract, identified with an award on 2 April 2025, involves the delivery of various fuel types, including automotive diesel and jet fuel, to locations throughout British Forces Cyprus. The process followed an open procurement method above the threshold, facilitating transparency and competition. The contract, valued at £7,845,915.51, spans from 2 April 2025 to 1 April 2030, aiming to meet the high standards of the British Forces. Supplier access to tender documents required specific security measures due to the awarded contract's 'Official-Sensitive' status. The project is based in multiple locations, including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom, emphasizing logistical efficiency within the stipulated period.

For businesses specializing in petroleum products, this tender represents a substantial opportunity to establish or enhance their presence in the defence sector, particularly given the five-year timeline of the contract. Large-scale suppliers with proven capabilities in fuel logistics and storage are particularly well-suited to capitalise on this opportunity. The low cyber risk rating and specific industry standards offer assurance for companies with robust security and compliance frameworks in place. The absence of requirements for ISO 9001 & 14001 certifications broadens the participation scope, potentially welcoming a more varied pool of bidders. Successful engagement in such a contract could accelerate company growth through sustained government collaboration and increased market credibility.
