Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Ad Blue has been completed by Halton Borough Council, based in Widnes, England. This contract falls under the industry category of fuels, with deliveries required in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £25,000, was awarded following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 12th January 2026, and the active award was dated 17th March 2026. The contract commences on 1st April 2026 and runs until 31st March 2028. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the award notice published on 10th April 2026.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fuel supply, particularly those capable of providing Ad Blue. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete in this sector, given the suitability for such entities. For larger fuel suppliers like Compass Fuel Oils Ltd, who have been awarded the contract, participating in framework agreements can enhance their portfolio and establish robust partnerships with public sector buying organisations such as Halton Borough Council. These contracts can lead to consistent revenue streams and bolster market presence in the regional fuels supply industry.
