Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency, acting for the Ministry of Defence, procured bulk ground fuel oils for MOD requirements in the East Midlands and West Midlands. This is a goods supply contract covering fuel oils (CPV 09135000), with delivery across the two English Midlands regions. The requirement is identified as Lot 1G and concerns the provision of bulk fuel rather than fuel-related consultancy, equipment or installation services. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity are businesses able to source, store, transport and deliver bulk ground fuels to MOD locations across both regions, with operational arrangements suitable for a public-sector fuel supply requirement. The buyer is the Government Commercial Agency, based in Liverpool, procuring on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective route as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 13 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Compass Fuel Oils Limited on 23 June 2026 for £7,068,872. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The procurement was structured as Lot 1G, England Midlands, and the stated estimated value and awarded value are the same. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active, and the published outcome identifies Compass Fuel Oils Limited as the successful supplier for the complete requirement.

This award is useful market evidence for fuel distributors and wholesalers that serve defence or other public-sector customers with bulk ground fuels. A credible competitor would need dependable access to fuel oils, compliant bulk storage and transport arrangements, and the capacity to deliver consistently across both the East and West Midlands. The requirement also demonstrates that this buyer uses a framework call-off route for regional fuel supply, so businesses seeking comparable work would benefit from experience of framework contracting, call-off competitions and public-sector delivery controls. The recorded suitability flags exclude SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that future competitors should be prepared to demonstrate established operational capacity, although the awarded supplier is recorded as an SME.
