Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency is buying bulk ground fuels for the Ministry of Defence under Lot 1J, covering southern England. The requirement is for fuel oils, classified under CPV 09135000, supplied for delivery in the South East and South West of England. This is a goods contract rather than a service or construction requirement. The procurement is managed by the Government Commercial Agency on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, so relevant businesses are fuel suppliers and distributors able to support defence-related sites across both regions. The scope is geographically focused on southern England but covers two regions, requiring a supply and delivery operation capable of serving multiple locations rather than a single-site fuel delivery.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 23 June 2026 to Certas Energy UK Limited. The award value is £50,666,716. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The tender deadline was 13 April 2026 at noon. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The recorded estimated tender value and awarded value are both £50,666,716. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off process; the available record does not set out separate price, quality or technical weighting for this lot.

For competitors, this award demonstrates substantial, recurring Ministry of Defence demand for bulk ground fuels across southern England. A credible future supplier would need dependable access to fuel oils, the storage and distribution capacity to serve sites in both the South East and South West, and robust logistics for bulk deliveries. The successful supplier is a large energy business, indicating that operational scale, supply resilience and the ability to manage a geographically dispersed defence requirement are important competitive signals. Businesses considering this market should also understand how to participate in the relevant framework and how to evidence reliable delivery performance, continuity of supply, compliance and contract management for a major public-sector customer.
