Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria, together with Cumbria Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority, procured the delivery of liquid fuels, oils and AdBlue for the Commissioners’ estate. The requirement covered two supply areas: heating oil and kerosene, and white diesel with AdBlue. This is a goods supply and delivery contract, including heating oil under CPV 09135100 and fuels under CPV 09100000. Deliveries are intended across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The opportunity is therefore relevant to fuel distributors, oil companies and logistics businesses able to supply and deliver these products across a broad geographic area.

The procurement has been awarded and both resulting contracts are active. It used an open procedure. Lot 1, Heating Oil and Kerosene, was awarded to WCF Ltd on 14 July 2026 for £480,000 excluding VAT (£576,000 including VAT), with a contract from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Lot 2, Supply of White Diesel and AdBlue, was awarded to STANDARD FUEL OILS LIMITED on 14 July 2026 for £800,000 excluding VAT (£960,000 including VAT), for the same period. Both lots were suitable for SMEs and included an optional extension period. Evaluation for each lot weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. Three bids were received for Lot 1 and two for Lot 2; contracts were signed on 12 August 2026.

This procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for bulk heating oil, kerosene, white diesel and AdBlue, with delivery requirements extending across England. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to the specified fuels and AdBlue, suitable storage and distribution arrangements, and the operational capacity to make deliveries across a wide network of locations. The award pattern shows that the buyer separated heating fuels from road and operational fuels, so specialists may be able to compete for one requirement rather than the whole package. The process also shows that SMEs can be suitable suppliers. Businesses preparing for a future requirement should be able to evidence reliable service quality alongside competitive pricing, since quality and price were both assessed.
