This initiative aims to establish a framework agreement for supplying fuels such as heating oil, automotive fuel, and marine fuel to central government organisations and the wider public sector across the UK, including Northern Ireland. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and the open procedure will be employed to invite bids, with an anticipated budget of £225 million for the period from 2017 to 2018. Key details include a contract period scheduled to commence on 24th July 2017 and ending on 23rd August 2021. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in fuel supply, transportation services, and ancillary services related to fuel management, such as tank maintenance and cleaning. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity particularly accessible as it encourages participation from a diverse range of suppliers. Businesses equipped to deliver various fuel types or associated services are well-suited to compete in this procurement process, ultimately aiming to support the public sector's fuel requirements effectively and sustainably. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Contracting Authority intends to invite tenders for a framework agreement for the supply of fuels to central government organisations and the wider public sector across the UK, including Northern Ireland. This will be carried out by the Open Procedure and tenders will be accepted in English only. The framework will include but may not be limited to heating oil, automotive fuel, marine fuel, aviation fuel, biomass fuels, solid fuel and liquefied petroleum gas. CCS are also considering the inclusion of associated services such as tank cleaning and maintenance, fuel testing, lubes and greases, fuel additives, tank metering and telemetry and any other associated services. The exact details of the requirement, contractual arrangements and whether these requirements will be split into further lots has yet to be decided. The values noted below are estimated and for guidance purposes only. These estimates are based on an approximation of potential public sector and are based on current demand via CCS arrangements. The estimates provided do not factor in potential future increase or decrease in requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a717ea0-0a8a-40c9-b564-29cee8ce5e56 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Mar 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Jul 2017 - 23 Aug 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 24 - Chemical products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 60 - Transport services (excl.
