UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, involves the supply and delivery of generator fuel specifically 50PPM Diesel, for the British High Commission in Pretoria. This tender falls under the industry category of goods, focusing on diesel fuel, and is located within South Africa. Currently in the tender stage, the process is open for competition, with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 25 June 2025, and submission closing on 7 July 2025. The contract duration spans from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2028, with a potential extension until 2029, subject to performance. This open competition falls below the threshold and involves an electronic submission method.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in fuel delivery and logistics. It suits companies capable of managing varying diesel fuel quantities due to fluctuating needs attributed to different stages of loadshedding. The procurement method encourages a broad range of competitors, providing a chance for businesses to demonstrate technical capacity, as the award criteria heavily weigh technical (70%) over commercial (30%) aspects. Companies with expertise in handling large-scale fuel deliveries and those with experience in the South African market stand to gain considerably.
