Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire procured bunkered diesel fuel for Lincolnshire Police. The requirement is for the supply of diesel as a physical good, rather than fuel-related maintenance or other services. Delivery is associated with postcode LN5 7PH, in Lincoln. The procurement description identifies an optional extension period, while the stated requirement is specifically for bunkered diesel. This is relevant to fuel suppliers able to supply the required fuel to the police force’s delivery location. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Certas Energy UK Ltd. The award was made on 17 September 2026, following a further competition under the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6305 framework. It was a selective call-off from that framework, rather than an open tender. The awarded value is £662,400. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an optional 12-month extension identified in the procurement description. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026. The recorded suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

For suppliers who did not win, this award is evidence that Lincolnshire Police buys bunkered diesel through a further competition under the RM6305 framework. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to supply diesel in bunkered form and deliver it to the force’s location in Lincoln. The selected supplier, Certas Energy UK Ltd, is recorded as a large company, and the procurement marked the requirement unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those signals suggest that businesses should assess whether their supply capability and organisational scale fit the buyer’s requirement and framework route. The contract also includes an optional extension, indicating that the buyer’s fuel supply arrangement may continue beyond its initial term.
