Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply and delivery of Medium Fuel Oil, Kerosene, Gas Oil, and Diesel has been completed and awarded by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, located in Dounreay, Thurso, Scotland. This award, dated 1st April 2026, marks the completion of a mini-competition held through the Crown Commercial Services National Fuels 3 framework RM6305, under a selective procurement method described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The industry category is fuel oils, with Certas Energy UK Limited as the successful supplier for a contract valued at £4,930,000. The contract period extends from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028.
