Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured the supply of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel, a renewable diesel alternative, for use at its Bardon site. This is a goods requirement within the wider petroleum products, fuel and energy category (CPV 09000000). The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is associated with the council’s Bardon site in England. The requirement is focused on fuel supply rather than consultancy, installation or wider energy services. Businesses specialising in HVO, renewable diesel or commercial fuel distribution would be the most relevant potential suppliers for this type of council requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 24 July 2026 to Certas, formerly known as GB Energy. The award value is £55,000, while the original estimated procurement value was £50,000. The awarded contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The wider tender record gives a contract period from 27 July 2026 to 7 September 2026, and the tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The procurement used a tender process with an “Other” method. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a short-term council requirement for a substantial supply of HVO fuel to support operations at a named council site. A credible competitor for similar work would need dependable access to HVO, compliant commercial fuel distribution arrangements and the ability to deliver reliably to the Bardon site. Evidence of consistent product quality, safe handling, accurate documentation and responsive logistics would help demonstrate operational confidence, although no specific accreditation is identified in the procurement information. The requirement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist fuel suppliers may be well placed where they can match the delivery reliability and supply capacity demonstrated by the selected large supplier.
