Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Liquid Fuels 2025" contract was conducted by Sheffield City Council, focusing on the acquisition of petrol and diesel for the council's fleet, including SEND minibuses. Classified under the goods category and specifically under CPV code 09100000 for fuels, the procurement was executed using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded on 4th November 2025, following a decision made on 4th July 2025, to Standard Fuel Oils Ltd. The delivery address is situated in the UKE region, covering Sheffield and surrounding areas, with the contract being called off from the CCS RM6305 National Fuels 3 July Aggregation framework.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for large-scale suppliers of fuel products due to the significant contract value of £5.2 million. Since the contract was awarded through a call-off from an aggregated framework and resulted in a single supplier, businesses with commodity market experience or those capable of offering competitive prices for fuel provision could find such contracts suitable for expanding their portfolio and enhancing their market presence. Utilising the authority of regional framework agreements, larger fuel suppliers in similar regions may optimise their market share by focusing on streamlined supply chain efficiencies and competitive pricing strategies.
