Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence in England has recently completed the procurement process for the Bulk Fuels Framework Agreement (BFFA), a selective tender awarded to ten suppliers. The contract, valued at £1,085,000,000, aims to provide fuels and was officially initiated on 15 November 2016, with the contract period running until 13 January 2021. The tender was closed on 15 December 2015, and the delivery addresses span across British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

This framework presents significant opportunities for established businesses within the fuel supply industry, especially those capable of meeting the rigorous standards set by the Ministry of Defence. Companies like BP International, Certas Energy, and Shell UK have successfully participated, indicating a preference for large, experienced suppliers. Smaller or emerging businesses, while not eligible under the current framework, could explore similar opportunities in the future as new tenders arise or adjustments to current procurements are made.
