Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covers bulk ground fuel oils for the Ministry of Defence, managed by the Government Commercial Agency. It is a goods requirement for supplying fuel across England’s London and South East regions. The scope is described as MOD UK Bulk Ground Fuels, Lot 1I, covering the delivery of fuel oils to locations in those areas. This is a regional supply requirement rather than fuel-related consultancy, equipment manufacture or construction. Businesses relevant to this requirement are fuel distributors, wholesalers and suppliers with the operational capability to source, store, transport and deliver bulk ground fuels for defence users across multiple locations in London and the South East.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 23 June 2026 to Certas Energy UK Limited for £2,915,690. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The procurement was evaluated as a framework call-off for the supply of fuel oils. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the contract value is stated in pounds sterling.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear benchmark for defence bulk-fuel demand in London and the South East. A credible competitor would need established access to fuel oils, dependable bulk storage and distribution arrangements, and the capacity to serve Ministry of Defence requirements across a regional network. It would also need to operate effectively through a framework call-off route and demonstrate consistent delivery, supply continuity, logistics control and contract management at a scale associated with a large national fuel supplier. The buyer’s indication that the requirement is unsuitable for SMEs points to a need for substantial infrastructure, financial resilience and operational reach rather than a small local delivery operation. Suppliers should position themselves around secure, reliable and scalable bulk-fuel provision for defence users.
