Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered the supply and delivery of bulk ground fuels for the UK Ministry of Defence, specifically Lot 1L covering South Wales. This is a goods requirement for fuel oils, classified under CPV 09135000. The Government Commercial Agency acted as the buying organisation on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. Delivery is in South Wales, within Wales, United Kingdom. The requirement concerns fuel supplied in bulk for MOD operations rather than fuel-related consultancy, equipment or construction works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore be commercial fuel suppliers or distributors able to provide and deliver bulk ground fuels across South Wales and support a public-sector defence customer.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 23 June 2026 to Certas Energy UK Limited. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £9,325,271 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The tender submission deadline was 13 April 2026 at 12:00. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as a goods contract and records the award as active. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route; no separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting is stated.

This award demonstrates substantial, continuing MOD demand for bulk ground fuels in South Wales and shows that the requirement is bought through a framework call-off rather than an entirely open standalone procedure. A credible future competitor would need established fuel-oil supply arrangements, the operational capacity to manage bulk deliveries across South Wales, and dependable distribution supporting defence sites and operational requirements. The appointed supplier is a large organisation, while the procurement records the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses considering this market should therefore assess their scale, logistics network, framework access and ability to provide consistent public-sector fuel supply at regional level.
