## Summary

The procurement process for the supply and delivery of 12,000 cubic metres of F-35 fuel to Cyprus, initiated by the Ministry of Defence, has reached the award stage. The contract, valued at approximately £11.19 million, was conducted through a call-off from a pre-existing framework agreement (GBFS2). This project, classified under the industry category of fossil fuels, specifically petroleum and distillates, is intended for operation by the Ministry of Defence in Cyprus. The procurement, which utilised a selective method, saw an increase in the order volume post-award from 10,000 cubic metres to 12,000 cubic metres to accommodate operational demands. The contract period spans from 18th April 2026 to 23rd May 2026.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses within the petroleum supply chain, particularly those with the infrastructure and capacity to handle large-scale fuel deliveries. While the current award has been granted to Essar Oil (UK) Limited, a significant player in the fuel industry, upcoming or similar projects can provide competitive opportunities for both large and specialised fuel suppliers. Companies with experience in managing logistical demands and stringent delivery schedules for defence contracts would be well-positioned to seize such contracts, paving the way for business growth and diversification within the government procurement sector.
