Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has recently concluded its procurement process for the supply of liquid fuel to various locations within the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. The contracting process, which falls under the industry category of "Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy," involves a direct award procurement method. The contract has been awarded to Standard Fuel Oils on 13th October 2023, with a contract period running from 24th October 2023 to 23rd October 2025 and a value of £260,000. This procurement is now at the award stage, and while the initial deadline for tender submission was 4th September 2023, the agreement extends services across several regions including the North East, North West, and parts of the Midlands and Southern England.

This tender offers robust business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in energy supplies, with a focus on those capable of providing goods such as petroleum and fuel. SMEs and VCSEs are specifically deemed suitable applicants for similar tenders in this category, indicating a potential opening for small to medium-sized enterprises to diversify and expand their service offerings. Given the nature of the long-term contract, businesses with an established logistical network and ability to supply consistently across a broad geographical area, such as those capable of upscaling to cater to large public sector bodies, will find themselves well-positioned to compete in future similar procurement endeavours.
