The procurement process titled "Supply of road fuel" was conducted by Ipswich Borough Council, targeting the Fuels industry category. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically calling off from a framework agreement, and the award stage is now complete. The contract, valued at £1,140,720, covers the East of England region, United Kingdom. The award to Rix Petroleum (East Anglia) Ltd began on 15 January 2025 and extends until 30 September 2026.
