The procurement falls under the "Fuels" industry category and is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This contract was awarded via a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement.

This procurement presents a substantial business growth opportunity, particularly for large-scale suppliers experienced in liquid fuel provision.
