Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involved the provision of drummed petrol, heating kerosene, and car fuel specifically for the British Antarctic Survey in the Falkland Islands. As of 11th September 2025, the contract has been awarded, with Stanley Services being designated as the supplier. The procurement, categorised under goods with the CPV classification of petroleum products, utilised a direct method below the threshold, without competition. The contract spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2028 with a gross value of £100,800. The procuring authority, based in Swindon, Wiltshire, highlights this as a central government public authority initiative.
