UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel for its waste collection fleet. This is a fuel supply requirement, rather than a works or service contract. Delivery was in Portsmouth, for use by the council’s waste collection vehicles. The purchase sits within petroleum products and fuel supply (CPV 09000000). The requirement is focused on supplying HVO to support the operation of the council’s fleet; the published scope does not describe other fuel types or associated services.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Portsmouth City Council awarded the single lot to MB Energy Limited. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 22 September to 22 October 2026. Its gross value is £33,322. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, and the method is recorded as below-threshold with no further method detail. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing when Portsmouth City Council next requires HVO for its waste collection fleet, this award demonstrates demand for a focused fuel supply to support municipal vehicle operations. A credible competitor would need to source and reliably deliver HVO in Portsmouth, with the operational capacity to meet a short-term fleet requirement. MB Energy Limited was selected for this supply, showing that a fuel supplier could fulfil the council’s requirement. Suppliers whose business is limited to unrelated services or works would not match the stated scope. The procurement was handled below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared for the council’s below-threshold purchasing route rather than assume an above-threshold tender process.
