Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) is initiating a procurement process for the "Woolwich Ferry Fuel Supply by Bunker Barge" contract. This opportunity is classified under goods in the industry category of diesel fuel supply, estimated at a value of £800,000. TfL's aim is to gauge market interest and supplier capability for providing fuel to the Woolwich Ferry, with an expected contract start date in August 2022, lasting between 6 to 15 months. Interested parties are invited to express their interest via an Expression of Interest (EOI) form by 17:00 GMT on 8 April 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fuel supply, particularly those with the capability to deliver fuel by barge on the River Thames. Companies that meet the licensing requirements set by the Port of London Authority would be particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, this market engagement exercise allows suppliers to not only express interest but also to gain insights about the procurement process ahead of any potential invitations to tender. Engaging with TfL may lead to valuable partnerships in public service fuel supply arrangements, especially for businesses that can adapt to operational constraints like fuel delivery outside service hours.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition but is an early market engagement exercise to enable TfL to better understand the market appetite, capacity and capability to supply fuel to the Woolwich Ferry by bunker barge. Due to operational and infrastructure constraints, ferry fuel must be supplied to the two vessels by barge. The vessels were built to receive fuel easily by barge and the engines are built specifically to receive Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (10ppm). The combined fuel consumption between the two vessels is within the range of 4,000 litres and 12,000 litres per week. This fluctuation is determined by service frequency and whether both vessels are in operation. Fuel delivery occurs outside of ferry service hours and requires delivery crews to connect the hoses to the ferry for fuel transfer. TfL envisages this contract will be with a single supplier and be in place from August 2022 for a duration between 6 months and 15 months. The supplier will need to be licensed with the Port of London Authority (PLA) to supply fuel on the River Thames, London. In parallel, TfL is exploring alternative fuelling arrangements for the future, such as to allow road-tanker delivery, however that will be the subject of its own PIN/procurement exercise. This PIN is specifically for the purpose of establishing market interest for the provision of bunker barge fuel supply. Therefore, TfL would like to invite potential bidders to engage with us; to find out more about the opportunity and discuss the nature of this forthcoming procurement exercise. This notice is seeking potential bidders to express an interest and engage with us via the instructions provided in section IV, Complementary Information. TfL may invite interested suppliers to participate in the market engagement sessions following an expression of interest. The value shown II.1.5. is an estimate based on the longest estimated contract duration and the highest frequency of ferry service. Estimated contract value will be PS300,000 to PS800,000.
