Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation for the supply of LSMGO fuel in Punta Arenas, Chile, aimed to service the RRS Sir David Attenborough was terminated following its completion. The process, under the project title "UKRI-5028 SDA LSMGO Fuel Punta Arenas May 2025," was governed by the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023. Despite the termination status indicated on 28th July 2025, the contract was previously awarded due to extreme urgency under the Procurement Act 2023. The contract period spanned just one day, from 27th July 2025, with the final transaction valued at USD 366,500.

This contract offered a substantial opportunity for large businesses involved in the fuels and ship refuelling services industry, such as TSL Shipping and Trading LLC, the chosen supplier based in Houston, USA. The direct procurement method used in this process indicated an opportunity for suppliers capable of delivering critical goods promptly under pressing timelines. It demonstrates a significant opportunity for businesses focused on securing high-value contracts related to public undertakings, especially those capable of rapid mobilisation and delivery in international locations like Chile. The nature and scale of this tender reflect the requirements and opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics, fuel supply, and maritime services.
