Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED is the buying organisation for the supply of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a renewable liquid fuel, classified under the broader fuels category. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works. Delivery is across the East of England, so relevant suppliers would need to serve customers in that area and arrange reliable fuel distribution. The procurement is titled ESPO 301_22 Supply of HVO and concerns the supply itself, rather than fuel-related consultancy, installation or maintenance. Businesses involved in wholesale HVO, renewable fuels, fuel distribution or commercial energy supply are the most directly relevant potential competitors for this buyer’s requirement.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and is marked complete. BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED awarded the contract to New Era fuels Limited on 1 July 2026. The award value is £290,000. The contract runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 7 July 2026. The procurement method is recorded as “Other - Not Disclosed”, so the route used is not identified beyond that description. The award is active, and the contract period matches the tender’s stated delivery period. The process was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or separate awards are recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for HVO fuel supply in the East of England and the scale of purchasing associated with this buyer. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to HVO, the operational capacity to fulfil fuel orders, and distribution arrangements that cover the required geography. Experience supplying commercial or public-sector customers would help demonstrate reliability, continuity of supply and the ability to manage delivery requirements. Fuel wholesalers, renewable-fuel specialists and established distributors are the closest-fit businesses. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms may need substantial capacity, delivery infrastructure or a strong supply partnership to compete credibly when this requirement returns to market.
