Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Diesel for Chichester District Council" was initiated by Hampshire County Council and has reached the award stage. The contract, with an estimated value of £2,003,100, falls under the goods category and involves the supply of diesel fuel through a framework agreement.

Although Wessex Petroleum has secured this contract, related businesses offering complementary services or alternative fuel innovations may benefit by exploring partnership or subcontracting opportunities.

Notice Title

Provision of Diesel for Chichester District Council

Notice Description

ON BEHALF OF CHICHESTER DISTRICT COUNCIL. Chichester District Council have awarded a three-year contract to WP Group (Wessex Petroleum Ltd) for a diesel fuel provision through the Heating Oil, Motor Fuel and Biofuel Framework to ensure continuity of diesel fuel supply with the intension to make the switch to Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel in the near future. Making the change during the lifetime of the contract is allowable under the framework. Diesel fuel has been chosen in the first instance to allow for a contract to be put in place whilst the option of HVO fuel is continued to be explored, and if it is, the Council will then switch to using this source of fuel instead. HVO is a renewable diesel alternative made from waste oils and fats, such as used cooking oil, animal fats, and vegetable oils. It offers significant environmental benefits, including up to 90% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional diesel, as well as lower levels of nitrogen oxide. HVO is part of the paraffinic family of fuels and is fully compatible with existing diesel engines and infrastructure, requiring no modifications to vehicles or storage systems.
