UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is buying bulk fuel and its delivery to sites in Pembrokeshire. Carmarthenshire County Council is a named participant and can also use the framework, with deliveries to sites in Carmarthenshire. The requirement is for fuel supply and distribution, rather than fuel-related works or services. It is divided into two geographic lots: one for Pembrokeshire and one for Carmarthenshire. The lot descriptions identify delivery within each county, although the Carmarthenshire lot description contains an inconsistent reference to Pembrokeshire. The framework is intended to cover requirements raised by both councils, with individual requirements competed among appointed suppliers.

The councils invited offers through an open procedure for a closed framework, under which individual requirements will be awarded through mini-competitions. The procurement reached tender stage. Questions were due by 27 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 30 October 2026 at 14:00. The estimated award decision date was 16 November 2026. The framework period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. Its estimated value is £13.5 million excluding VAT (£16.2 million including VAT). Lot 1, Pembrokeshire, is valued at £7.2 million excluding VAT; Lot 2, Carmarthenshire, at £6.3 million excluding VAT. Up to three suppliers may be appointed to each lot. Evaluation for both lots is quality-based: competitiveness 35%, delivery arrangements 35%, contingency 20%, and community wellbeing benefits/social value 10%.

This opportunity suits fuel suppliers able to source and distribute bulk fuel reliably across sites in either county; businesses may bid for the Pembrokeshire lot, the Carmarthenshire lot, or both. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable, and the framework’s multi-supplier structure allows for several providers on each lot. Strong offers will need to demonstrate competitive supply, practical delivery arrangements and credible contingency planning, as these together account for 90% of the quality assessment. The remaining assessment rewards community wellbeing and social value. Suppliers should be prepared to compete for individual requirements after appointment, rather than rely on a single award covering all framework demand. The councils describe this as a repeat procurement using a specification that is working well under the current arrangement, suggesting continuity of the established requirement.
