Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is embarking on a planned procurement process titled "COV - PIPELINE - Liquid Fuels - Further competition 2026" aimed at the procurement of liquid fuels, primarily diesel, for the Whitley Depot. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy" with an estimated value of £4,800,000 (gross). The process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice anticipated on 1st January 2026, marking the start of the competition phase. The contract period is slated to commence on 1st October 2026 and conclude on 30th September 2029, providing ample lead time for businesses to prepare their bids.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that supply liquid fuels and related energy products. The tender's alignment with an external framework offers firms the chance to engage in further competition, ensuring a level playing field for suppliers of varied sizes. Enterprises that specialise in the energy and petroleum sectors, with capabilities to provide diesel and related services, will find this procurement a fitting opportunity to expand their market presence and secure substantial contractual value over the three-year term.
