Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has procured liquid fuel, including diesel fuel, for use in Hull through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation’s Liquid Fuels and Associated Products Framework. The requirement is for the supply and delivery of liquid fuels and associated products to support the council’s operations. It is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. The buying organisation is Hull City Council, based at The Guildhall in Hull, and delivery is associated with the Hull area. The procurement’s main classification is fuels (CPV 09100000), with diesel fuel classifications also used. The requirement was structured as a further competition under an existing framework, with the council as the specific authority using the framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hull City Council selected Standard Fuel Oils Ltd, and the contract was signed on 18 September 2026. The contract is active and has an estimated value of £5,000,000 over the initial three-year period. It is anticipated to commence in September 2026, with an option to extend for a further year and then another year, subject to satisfactory performance. The process used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a further competition under the YPO framework. Evaluation was based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. Two electronic bids were recorded. The procurement was covered by the GPA.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates a substantial, recurring council requirement for dependable liquid-fuel supply, particularly diesel, delivered for operations in Hull. A credible competitor would need the capacity to supply fuel at council scale, manage regular deliveries and maintain continuity throughout a multi-year arrangement. Experience of supplying public-sector or similarly demanding customers through a framework or further-competition route would be relevant. The evaluation shows that both price and quality mattered, so future competitors would need commercially competitive pricing alongside evidence of reliable fulfilment, service standards and operational resilience. The successful supplier was a large fuel company, indicating that established supply capacity and the ability to perform consistently against satisfactory-performance requirements would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
