Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Germany Fuel Cards," categorised under vehicle refuelling services. This process, procured through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, is specifically for the provision of fuel cards enabling entitled personnel to purchase tax and duty-free fuel. The supplier awarded the contract is BP Europa SE, based in Hamburg, Germany. The contract, valued at EUR 3 million, was signed on 19 February 2025. This procurement falls below the threshold of the Concession Contract Regulations 2016 and was necessitated by the lack of alternative competition for technical reasons.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fuel supply services, particularly those capable of fulfilling contracts involving entitlements for tax and duty-free provisions. Large-scale suppliers like BP Europa SE, which was awarded this contract, are well-positioned to leverage such opportunities due to their established infrastructure and compliance with host nation laws and regulations. This procurement could pave the way for other businesses in the fuel and transport service industry to explore similar government contracts within the defence sector, fostering potential growth and offering a steady revenue stream through sustained governmental engagements.
