Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Liquid Fuels Retender 2026 - Crown Oil" was conducted by the Ministry of Justice and focuses on the supply of liquid fuels for heating and power generation across various sites, including the HMPPS and HMCTS estates. This contract pertains to the gas oils industry category and includes delivery to several locations, such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the award being published on 5th June 2026. The contract commenced on 18th May 2026 and is set to conclude on 17th May 2028, following a selective procurement method that involves calling off from an existing framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and distribution of liquid fuels, specifically within the gas and fuel oils sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would find this opportunity particularly promising due to the suitability criteria that favour such businesses, although voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not indicated as targeted participants. The total contract value amounts to £800,000, making it lucrative for businesses with the capacity to supply and deliver across multiple international locations outlined in the tender. Contributing to energy needs across various government estates, this contract is ideal for large-scale suppliers like Crown Oil Ltd, who have been successfully awarded this contract, to expand their business reach and enhance service delivery in the public sector.
