UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Delivery and Supply of Fuel - East Depots" involved Transpennine Trains Limited as the buying organisation, based in Manchester, United Kingdom. This project, categorised under the utilities industry, focused on the procurement of marked Gas Oil (Red Diesel) that meets BS EN590 standards. The process reached the award stage with ESSAR OIL (UK) LIMITED being selected as the supplier on 5th September 2025, following a direct award method due to the urgent need to maintain railway operations. The contract's value is set at £7,095,604, and covers a period from 22nd September 2025 through 30th June 2026, with a potential one-year extension. Key compliance included adherence to legal provisions under UKPGA 2023/54, and the procurement was recognised as strictly necessary due to the operational imperative following the incumbent supplier's administration situation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in fuel supply and logistical services, particularly for those with experience in vehicle refuelling and diesel fuel distribution. As a direct award resulting from urgent requirements, businesses adept at quickly mobilising resources and establishing supply chains for critical national infrastructure are particularly well-suited to future tenders of this nature. For suppliers, engaging in such contracts offers not only immediate revenue prospects but also the chance to strengthen relationships with public undertakings like Transpennine Trains Limited, potentially leading to more stable, long-term collaborations.
