## Summary

Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council procured diesel fuel for delivery in the East of England. This is a goods requirement covering the supply and delivery of diesel, classified under CPV 09134200. The councils are the buying organisation and the requirement supports their operational fuel needs across the area. The procurement was made through the Government Commercial Agency’s National Fuels 3 framework, indicating a framework-based supply arrangement rather than a standalone open-market purchase. The named requirement is ESSL Diesel Supply. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are fuel suppliers and distributors able to provide diesel reliably across the East of England, with the logistics, storage and delivery capability needed to serve a public-sector buyer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from the GCA National Fuels 3 RM6305 framework. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Certas Energy UK Limited. The awarded value is £370,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The procurement is marked complete and the award is active. Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council made a single award. The published description identifies this as an award notice only, so the relevant commercial outcome is the selected supplier, the awarded value and the two-year supply period rather than a current invitation to tender.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for an ongoing diesel supply and delivery service from the two Suffolk councils. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to diesel, resilient distribution arrangements and the capacity to deliver consistently across the East of England. Experience of supplying public-sector or other high-volume customers would help demonstrate operational reliability, while robust logistics, stock management, invoicing and service continuity arrangements would be important in competing with an established fuel distributor. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME with sufficient supply-chain strength and delivery coverage could be relevant, either independently or through suitable commercial arrangements. The route to market is a framework call-off, making framework participation and compliance an important capability for future competition.
