Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council procured services for the provision and delivery of liquid fuels, classified under fuels. The requirement covers supply to England, for the council’s operational needs. The buying organisation is Bath and North East Somerset Council, based at the Guildhall in Bath. This is a fuel supply and distribution requirement rather than a works contract or a purchase of fuel-handling infrastructure. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore include suppliers able to provide liquid fuels and arrange dependable delivery across the required English service area. The requirement sits within the wider CCS RM6305 liquid fuels framework call-off, indicating a public-sector fuel purchasing need managed through an established commercial route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award. The contract was awarded to Certas Energy UK Ltd trading as Gulf Aviation on 11 March 2026. The awarded value is £1,750,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 28 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 28 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement is categorised as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to one supplier for the liquid fuels requirement.

This award is relevant to fuel wholesalers, distributors and specialist liquid-fuel suppliers that can serve a public-sector customer across England. A future competitor would need dependable access to liquid fuels, robust order fulfilment and delivery arrangements, and the operational capacity to support a council requirement at substantial scale. The selected supplier was a large business, showing that established supply capability and the ability to manage sustained public-sector demand were credible strengths in this procurement. SMEs were identified as suitable, so smaller suppliers with suitable fuel supply networks, reliable distribution partners and experience of serving public bodies could also be well placed when this type of requirement returns to the market.
