Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has procured the supply of liquid fuel products for locations within the Borough of Rotherham. The requirement covers gas oil equivalent, ultra-low sulphur diesel and petrol, biodiesel including bio-heating oil, high-octane unleaded petrol, AdBlue or an equivalent diesel exhaust fluid, and hydrotreated vegetable oil. It also includes lubricants such as engine oils, screen wash, hydraulic oils, antifreeze, and gear and transmission oils. The Council may request additional fuel types in line with market requirements, and expects suppliers to provide the full range of products. This is a goods contract in the fuels and fuel oils category, including diesel products. The buying organisation is Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.

The procurement has been awarded following a tender process and the award is active. Standard Fuel Oils Ltd was selected on 6 July 2026 for £5,600,000. The awarded contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 20 March 2026 at 16:00 UTC. The procurement used an open tender route, with the requirement identified as an other procurement method. The contract covers the overall liquid-fuel and lubricant supply requirement for Rotherham locations. The Council’s tender information anticipated a three-year term from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029, with an option for one further 12-month extension, potentially to 1 June 2030. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates substantial, ongoing demand from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for a broad commercial fuel and lubricant supply capability. Relevant competitors would need reliable access to multiple fuel grades, renewable and lower-emission products, diesel exhaust fluid, and a complementary range of oils, antifreeze, screen wash and transmission products. They would also need the operational capacity to supply several product types to Council locations within the Rotherham area, respond to additional fuel requirements as market needs change, and maintain dependable fulfilment throughout a multi-year arrangement. A credible future supplier would therefore combine fuel sourcing and product breadth with robust logistics, stock management and delivery performance. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so specialist regional fuel distributors may be able to compete alongside larger suppliers.
