Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales Rail Limited, a sub-central government utility buyer governed by Welsh devolved regulations, has concluded a direct award contract with Deutz AG for the supply of AdBlue. The contract supports operations at the Rhymney and Canton depots in the United Kingdom. The procurement focuses on the energy sector, specifically petroleum products and fuels. The procurement method was a direct award due to operational compatibility requirements with Deutz engines. The award was finalised on 5th August 2025, with the contract period commencing on 29th August 2025 and lasting until 29th August 2026, with options for two six-month renewals. A milestone for contract signature is scheduled for 25th August 2025.

This procurement creates opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of energy and fuel products. Companies that offer high-quality, ISO-compliant products like AdBlue and possess operational compatibility with Deutz engines are well-positioned to compete. Large-scale suppliers with extensive distribution capabilities may benefit from future tenders, especially those that can ensure technical exclusivity and maintain reliability across multiple sites. This contract not only highlights the importance of adhering to technical specifications but also opens doors for suppliers to enhance their market presence within the utility buyer sector.

Transport for Wales has issued a direct award to Deutz AG for the bulk supply of AdBlue to support operations at the Rhymney and Canton depots. This decision is based on the need for operational compatibility. Primary delivery location: Rhymney Depot (NP22 5LW), approx. 4,000 litres per week.

Deutz, as the OEM, is the only supplier capable of providing AdBlue that is guaranteed to be compatible with their engines. The procurement is therefore technically exclusive, as no other supplier can meet the specific requirements without compromising quality or reliability.
