Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has initiated a procurement process for the provision of transport services for the movement of fuels within the United Kingdom, specifically for aviation and marine fuels. This Request for Information (RFI) is currently in the planning stage, with responses due by 12:00 GMT on 7th February 2022. The services will cover routine haulage of fuels from storage points to military locations across various regions of the UK, excluding Northern Ireland. Interested suppliers can access the relevant documentation through the Defence Sourcing Portal.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the transport services sector, particularly those with capabilities in fuel logistics and transportation. Companies with experience in handling petroleum products, coupled with a strong operational framework for rapid response and delivery, will be particularly well-suited to compete. The tender encourages suppliers who can provide vehicles and drivers for both routine and occasional fuel delivery, responding to both planned requirements and unexpected needs within the military framework.
