## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has recently completed the tender for the Defence Fuels Global Resupply Capability (DFGRC) for large ships. This procurement, classified under the "Shipping operations" industry category, involves hiring sea-going vessels with crew. The total contract value is £69,196,000, covering multiple delivery locations, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The procurement, carried out through an open procedure, began its tender period on 17th September 2024, with the contract period slated to start on 2nd January 2025 and end on 1st January 2030.

This contract provides significant business growth opportunities for large shipping and logistics companies with the capacity to handle international fuel resupply operations. The long contract period ensures stable income and potential for further collaborations with the Ministry of Defence. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed unsuitable for this project, large-scale companies like James Fisher Everard Limited, the awarded supplier, will find this contract highly beneficial for expanding their maritime logistics portfolio.
