UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency (GCA) intends to establish an agreement for supplying fuels to public sector organisations across the United Kingdom. The anticipated range includes heating oil, road vehicle fuel, marine and aviation fuel, biomass fuels and liquefied petroleum gas. GCA is also considering related products and services, including lubricants and greases, fuel additives, tank cleaning and maintenance, fuel testing, and tank metering and telemetry. The scope may extend to other associated services. This is a fuel supply procurement, with possible ancillary maintenance, testing and monitoring work. The requirements and contractual arrangements are still being developed, including whether the procurement will be divided into further lots.

This is at the planning stage: GCA has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure, with tenders in English. The estimated value is £2 billion excluding VAT (£2.4 billion including VAT); this is indicative, based on an approximation of potential public sector and existing demand, and may change as requirements rise or fall. GCA expects to publish the next procurement notice by 5 January 2028. The planned agreement period is 5 July 2028 to 4 July 2032. The precise scope, contractual arrangements and lot structure remain under consideration. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions have been set out at this planning stage.

The work is likely to suit fuel suppliers able to serve public sector customers across the UK, with capacity to supply several fuel types, potentially including heating, road, marine and aviation fuels, biomass and LPG. Suppliers offering associated services such as tank maintenance and cleaning, fuel testing, telemetry, metering, lubricants, greases or additives may also be relevant if these services form part of the final scope. The planned agreement covers a broad, potentially substantial range of public sector demand over several years, so suppliers should consider whether they can support requirements at that scale and across the stated fuel categories. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the planned lot, although the buyer has not yet settled the final lot structure. No specific accreditations or experience requirements have been stated.
