Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supply of HVO - July 26" contract has been completed by Leicestershire County Council, located in Leicester, England. This tender, categorised under the industry of petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy, was awarded to the supplier Certas, formerly known as GB Energy. The contract, valued at £55,000, was awarded on 24th July 2026 and the contract execution is set between 27th July 2026 and 28th August 2026. The tender used an 'Other' procurement method and was open to SMEs and VCSEs, focusing on delivering HVO fuel to the Bardon site of the council.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the energy supply chain, particularly those providing alternative fuels like HVO. Given the council's openness to SMEs and VCSEs, smaller enterprises with innovative fuel solutions and sustainability practices could find this an ideal opportunity to expand their operations. Furthermore, companies capable of providing cost-effective, scalable solutions and those with a strong logistical presence in the United Kingdom are well-suited to benefit from such contracts. This opportunity aligns with businesses aiming to collaborate with local councils in supplying eco-friendly energy solutions.
