Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured the supply of bulk-blown wood-pellet heating fuel for five sites across Staffordshire: Hugo Meynell Primary, Whittington Primary School, Chasewater Innovation Centre, Walton Hall Special School and Cannock Chase Enterprise Centre. The requirement covers deliveries on an as-needed basis, using ENplus A1 6mm wood pellets. Anticipated annual volumes were up to 230 tonnes, comprising approximately 60 tonnes for Hugo Meynell Primary, 20 tonnes for Whittington Primary School, 10 tonnes for Chasewater Innovation Centre, 50 tonnes for Walton Hall Special School and 50 tonnes for Cannock Chase Enterprise Centre. This is a goods supply opportunity in wood fuel and fuel wood (CPV 09111400 and 03413000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One supplier was appointed: Land Energy Girvan Limited. The award was made on 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract value is £180,000 excluding VAT and £189,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 17 August 2027, with an optional 12-month extension to 17 August 2028 if the council is satisfied with performance. The tender deadline was 26 June 2026 at noon and the enquiry deadline was 19 June 2026 at noon. Evaluation weighted price at 80% and quality at 20%. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Staffordshire County Council for reliable bulk wood-pellet fuel supply across multiple public-sector education, community and enterprise sites. A credible future competitor would need to source and deliver ENplus A1 6mm pellets in bulk, manage deliveries to several Staffordshire locations on an as-needed basis, and support annual demand of up to 230 tonnes. Biomass Suppliers List accreditation is essential for all fuels delivered to the installations, and must be retained throughout the contract term. Suppliers should therefore have dependable pellet sourcing, compliant quality controls, delivery capacity across multiple sites and the operational systems to respond to fluctuating requirements. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing is important, while quality remains a significant part of the assessment.
