Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Post Office Limited, which is based in London, acquiring bulk fuels under the contract titled "Post Office Bulk Fuels (CCS Framework RM6177) - Birmingham". This tender falls under the goods category, specifically related to diesel fuel and fuel oils, and is situated in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used is selective, via a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 20 January 2022 and will end on 20 January 2024, with an estimated maximum total annual value of £190,594, although the actual spend is likely to be significantly lower as it is intended for contingency use only.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in fuel supply, particularly those capable of providing HVO or ultra-low sulphur diesel within the West Midlands area. Companies that can accommodate the selective procurement method and meet the criteria set forth by Post Office Limited would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may particularly benefit as they can participate in this competitive process, which aims to ensure fairness and equal opportunity among suppliers.

Notice Title

Post Office Bulk Fuels (CCS Framework RM6177) - Birmingham

Notice Description

Post Office Limited ('POL') operate a Commercial Fleet of in excess of 250no. Vehicles. Our Fleet obtain Fuels by means of Fuel Cards, making use of public forecourts. However, POL have recently taken the decision to recommission on-site Fuel Bunker at our Birmingham facility as a means of providing contingency to any future interruptions to the supply of Fuel at forecourts. POL ran a further competition against the CCS Framework RM6177 (National Fuels 2) Lot 1 (against the appropriate regional sub-lot), for the supply of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) or Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel and shall be making use of the Call-Off Terms of that framework. This was in line with PCR 2015 running a further competition fairly and equally between suppliers giving them all the same chance to bid and used and weighted scoring criteria to assess their pricing responses. After this evaluation, we concluded that Watsons Fuels were the winning bidder and the contract was awarded to them. There is zero committed spend against this call-off order. The estimated maximum total annual value is PS190,594.00. However, this is based on a full year using on site tanks. For the avoidance of doubt tanks are to be used as a contingency only in the event of interruption to forecourt fuel supplies it is therefore likely that annualised spend will be significantly lower than the above estimate (Likely zero). Post Office have clearly communicated to the Supplier that we do not guarantee any maximum or minimum quantities against the proposed call-off order.
