Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured the supply of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel to the Bardon fuel site. This is a goods requirement for fuel supply, intended to maintain availability at that site until mid-October 2026. The named delivery country is the United Kingdom, with Bardon identified as the operating location. The purchasing organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Leicester. The requirement sits within the fuels category (CPV 09100000) and was arranged as a single lot. It is therefore relevant to fuel distributors, energy suppliers and businesses able to provide HVO to a public-sector fuel site and manage delivery to the required location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CRAGGS ENERGY LIMITED, an SME, under a competitive below-threshold award from a framework. The selective procedure was used, with one completed lot. The award was made and the contract signed on 15 September 2026. The active contract runs from 16 September to 16 October 2026. Its gross value is £52,368, in GBP. The contract covers HVO fuel supply to the Bardon fuel site. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract, rather than an invitation for further responses. The framework route and competitive call-off indicate that suppliers needed to be eligible to participate in the relevant framework and compete for the requirement.

This award shows a defined requirement for short-term HVO fuel supply at a county council-operated fuel site, with a contract value in the tens of thousands of pounds and delivery managed through a framework call-off. Businesses best placed for comparable work would have an established HVO supply chain, reliable access to suitable fuel volumes, and the operational capacity to deliver promptly to Bardon. Experience supplying public-sector or fleet fuel sites would help demonstrate reliability, continuity of supply and understanding of council purchasing requirements. Suppliers should also be able to compete through an appropriate framework route, respond to a selective call-off and manage the administrative requirements of a competitive public procurement process.
