UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured the supply of liquid fuel for its operations. This is a goods requirement covering fuels, classified under CPV 09100000. Delivery is in Staffordshire and forms part of the council’s requirements under a framework agreement. The buying organisation is Staffordshire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on the reliable provision of liquid fuel rather than associated works or services. Suppliers operating in fuel distribution, wholesale fuel supply and public-sector fuel logistics would be the most relevant comparators. The procurement concerns one requirement and was managed by the council as the organisation responsible for purchasing the fuel.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure as a non-competitive call-off under a framework. CERTAS ENERGY UK LIMITED was selected on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 15 September 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. It covers one lot, with the award and contract both active. The process was above the relevant threshold. The published information identifies the supplier, award value, contract period and framework route; no separate quality or price weighting is stated.

This award demonstrates established demand from Staffordshire County Council for a substantial, multi-year liquid-fuel supply managed through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to suitable fuel stocks, resilient wholesale and distribution arrangements, and the operational capacity to serve council requirements across Staffordshire. Experience in scheduled deliveries, public-sector supply contracts and maintaining continuity of fuel provision would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to operate effectively within framework terms and handle a requirement above the applicable procurement threshold. The incumbent is a large fuel supplier, indicating that scale, supply-chain strength and reliable contract management are important competitive characteristics for this buyer.
