Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency, acting on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, recently completed the procurement process for the "Provision of MOD UK Bulk Ground Fuels - Lot 1A - Scotland North." This selective procurement, conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, focuses on the supply of fuel oils to the Scotland region, with an overall contract value of £2,115,373. The contract period started on 1st June 2026 and extends until 31st May 2028. The procurement process has moved to the award stage, with CERTAS ENERGY UK LIMITED confirmed as the supplier following the tender process which concluded on 13th April 2026.

This contract presents substantial growth prospects for businesses operating in the fuel oil industry, particularly those capable of fulfilling large-scale government contracts. While this tender may not be particularly tailored for SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale enterprises with a robust delivery capability in the United Kingdom would find this opportunity significant. The engagement with a government agency also enhances credibility and can pave the way for future contracts within the public sector. Businesses already working within framework agreements will particularly benefit from the selective procurement method used in this process.
