## Summary

CORMAC Solutions, operating under Cornwall Council, has initiated a procurement process for the supply of bulk liquid fuels, specifically targeting depots and work sites throughout Cornwall. The tender, titled "The Supply of Bulk Liquid Fuels," is currently classified under the goods category with a total contract value of £12,000,000. The procurement method chosen is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 18th January 2016, while the contract is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2016, lasting for an initial year with the possibility of three annual extensions, subject to performance. This framework agreement includes various lots for Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel and Gas Oil deliveries, though there is no guaranteed volume or spend. Interested suppliers must express their interest via email to participate.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly those involved in the fuels supply industry. Companies that can provide services in ultra-low sulphur diesel and gas oil deliveries would be well-positioned to compete for this tender. Given the open nature of the process and the substantial potential spend of up to £3,750,000 per annum, this framework agreement could serve as a stepping stone for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to establish or expand their footprint in the regional fuel market. Businesses capable of adhering to the specified rebate structures and demonstrating competitive pricing will have a strong competitive advantage.

## Notice

CORMAC Solutions wishes to appoint suitably qualified suppliers to a Framework Agreement, to supply bulk liquid fuels to depots and work sites in Cornwall. The Framework will enable call-off contracts to be awarded through a Platts MID CIF weekly lagged rate, plus excise duty, plus supplier's fixed margin pricing mechanism. The Lot categories are as follows: Lot 1 = Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel Deliveries. Lot 2 = Gas Oil Deliveries. Lot 3 = Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel and Gas Oil Deliveries (the award will be made under this lot if a more competitive price is tendered for both products combined). The Framework will have an initial duration of one year with an option to extend for a further 3 years (3 annual extensions), subject to satisfactory performance, up to a maximum of 4 years total. The commencement date is anticipated to be the 1st April 2016. Whilst there is no guarantee of quantity or spend, CORMAC Solutions is likely to spend in the region of up to PS3,750,000 per annum across both lots. Appointed suppliers will be required to commit to a rebate structure. This is explained in more detail in the tender documents. Suppliers wishing to participate in this procurement opportunity will need to express an interest by email to procurement@cormacltd.co.uk. The tender documents will then be sent.
