Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for a bulk fuel contract spanning 2026-2027, specifically designed to supply diesel, petrol, red diesel, and AdBlue for fleet and hire vehicles. The procurement is classified within the CPV code 09000000, which includes petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other energy sources. The procurement process was conducted through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using a direct award from the ESPO 301_22 Liquid Fuels Framework (Lot 36). Key to note is that the contract, valued at £480,000 and signed on 26th March 2026, has been awarded to BWOC, an SME based in London, for delivery in the South West region (UKK1).

This procurement offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the energy and fuel sectors, particularly those capable of providing petroleum products and associated services. The direct award nature of this contract suggests that businesses looking to compete in similar future tenders should consider aligning with available framework agreements like ESPO to enhance their competitiveness. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to manage large-scale supply contracts, such as BWOC, will find such opportunities particularly conducive to growth. Such contracts not only expand market reach but also bolster sector-specific expertise within public sector dealings.
