Summary of the contracting process

Translink, the public undertaking organisation based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Supply and Delivery of Liquid Fuel (2026-30)." The tender falls under the utilities category, specifically aimed at providing fuel for Translink's bus and rail operations with an anticipated need for 20 million litres of ULS Diesel for road use and 17 million litres of ULS Gas Oil for railway use per annum. The procurement followed a selective method under Northern Irish devolved regulations, utilising a competitive flexible procedure. This process culminated in an award announced on 12th June 2026, with the contract running from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2030 and options to extend up to 2033. The procurement stage, now at completion, began with planning and culminated in a substantial contract valued at £245 million.

The awarded contract to LCC Group Ltd presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in the supply and delivery of fuels. Companies with capabilities in handling large volumes and operating sophisticated logistical frameworks are best suited to compete. The competitive procedure allowed for flexibility, making it an attractive engagement for large firms capable of further adaptations, such as the installation of telemetry systems and offering alternative fuels like HVO. This contract underscores the potential for firms not only to secure substantial revenue streams but also to collaborate in utility services, contributing to an evolved energy supply landscape.
