Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves ESPO (East Midlands Procurement Organisation), which is leading the tender titled "92_21 Liquified Petroleum Gas & Other Liquified Fuels." This project aims to supply Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and other liquified fuels across the United Kingdom, covering items like bulk and cylinder propane and butane. Currently, the procurement stage is complete, having transitioned through a tender process that ended on 20th September 2021. The contract period is set to commence from 22nd October 2021 until 21st October 2023, with a possible extension of up to 24 months. The total estimated value of the framework agreement is £10 million, with a minimum financial requirement of £4 million noted in the tender documents.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the energy and fuel supply sector, particularly those specialising in LPG distribution. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability requirements noted in the tender. The framework not only serves various public bodies—including local authorities, NHS organisations, and charities—but also allows successful bidders to potentially engage with ESPO Trading Limited for additional commercial agreements. Consequently, this could be a valuable avenue for innovative companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.
