Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and servicing of a 20,000-litre fuel storage tank and a 2,500-litre AdBlue tank with a management system. This is primarily a goods requirement with associated installation works, covering fuel tanks, pumps and tank installation. The buying organisation is North Northamptonshire Council, based in Corby. The awarded requirement covers delivery across England. It is relevant to businesses that supply commercial fuel-storage equipment and can provide the associated installation, commissioning and ongoing servicing. The scope combines physical tank supply with practical site services and a management system, so suppliers need to consider the complete equipment and support requirement rather than supplying tanks alone.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. IDEAL TANKS & PUMPS LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The tender deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry period ended on 29 May 2026 at 12:00. Bids were assessed using 80% price and 20% quality. The estimated gross value was £60,000. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, has a gross value of £48,415.98 and a net value of £40,346.65, and runs from 24 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. The tender’s stated contract period for the lot was 13 July to 2 October 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for integrated fuel-storage infrastructure, including a large fuel tank, a separate AdBlue tank, management controls, installation, commissioning and servicing. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable tanks and pumps, coordinate delivery and installation, commission the equipment safely, and support it through servicing. The requirement favours businesses able to combine equipment supply with installation and aftercare rather than offering a standalone product. The evaluation placed substantially greater weight on price than quality, so suppliers would need competitive pricing alongside clear evidence that their equipment, installation approach, commissioning process and service capability meet the council’s operational requirements. The completed award also shows that an SME can deliver this combined requirement.
