Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured the supply of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel for its Bardon Waste Transfer site. This is a fuel supply contract, within the wider category of petroleum products and energy. The requirement was to keep the site supplied with HVO for a short operational period spanning late October and November 2026. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, and delivery is for the Bardon Waste Transfer site in Leicestershire. The requirement concerns fuel supply rather than installation, construction or a broader energy service, so it is most relevant to businesses able to source and deliver HVO to an operational waste facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CRAGGS ENERGY LIMITED; the contract was signed on 23 October 2026. It was a competitive award under a framework, using a selective process and a below-threshold route. There was one lot. The contract runs from 23 October to 27 November 2026. Its value is £54,701.33 excluding VAT, or £65,641.60 including VAT. The award record identifies the supplier and fuel category but does not publish separate award criteria or a detailed evaluation basis. The contract period and value apply to this single fuel-supply requirement for the Bardon site.

This award demonstrates a focused requirement from Leicestershire County Council for HVO deliveries to the Bardon Waste Transfer site, rather than a large, multi-site energy programme. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need reliable access to HVO and the distribution capability to maintain supply at an operational waste facility over a defined, short period. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized business, showing that the contract was delivered by an SME; this does not establish a formal size restriction. The route was a competitive call-off under a framework, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework as well as to meet the practical demands of fuel sourcing and delivery. The commercial fit is strongest for fuel distributors with HVO capability and suitable delivery operations.
