## Summary

The procurement process involves the Post Office Limited, which seeks to establish a supply of bulk fuels for its commercial fleet through the tender titled "Post Office Bulk Fuels (CCS Framework RM6177) - Norwich." This contract falls under the goods category, specifically within the diesel fuel and fuel oils classifications. The procurement method is selective, and it was awarded to Watson Fuels on 20 January 2022, with the contract period running until 20 January 2024. The estimated maximum total annual value of the contract is £38,302, although actual expenditure is anticipated to be significantly lower given the nature of the contingency arrangement for fuel supply.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the fuel supply industry to engage with a prominent buyer like the Post Office, particularly those who can manage on-site fuel bunker provisions. Suitable competitors include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in fuel distribution and logistics, especially those that can demonstrate flexibility and reliability in supply chain management. The nature of this tender being a call-off from a framework agreement means that there may be further opportunities for similar contracts in the future, encouraging growth for businesses that position themselves as competitive suppliers in this sector.

## Notice

Post Office Limited ('POL') operate a Commercial Fleet of in excess of 250no. Vehicles. Our Fleet obtain Fuels by means of Fuel Cards, making use of public forecourts. However, POL have recently taken the decision to recommission on-site Fuel Bunkers at our Norwich facility as a means of providing contingency to any future interruptions to the supply of Fuel at forecourts. There is zero committed spend against this call-off order. The estimated maximum total annual value is PS38,302.00. However, this is based on a full year using on site tanks. For the avoidance of doubt tanks are to be used as a contingency only in the event of interruption to forecourt fuel supplies it is therefore likely that annualised spend will be significantly lower than the above estimate (Likely zero). Post Office have clearly communicated to the Supplier that we do not guarantee any maximum or minimum quantities against the proposed call-off order.
