Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of MOD UK Bulk Ground Fuels - Lot 1J - England South" was conducted by the Government Commercial Agency on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. This contract involves the supply of fuel oils, specifically to locations in the South East and South West of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The value of the tender was £50,666,716, and it was awarded to Certas Energy UK Limited. This process reached the award stage, with the contract beginning on 1st June 2026 and concluding on 31st May 2028. The award was published on 17th July 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the fuel supply industry, particularly those capable of fulfilling large orders within a framework agreement setting. Although this specific contract does not highlight opportunities for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises, such as Certas Energy, have successfully secured the award. Businesses with existing capabilities in logistics, supply chain management, and bulk distribution within the United Kingdom may find similar contracts beneficial for business growth. As the procurement was a call-off from a framework, companies that are part of such frameworks or can meet their requirements may find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
