## Summary

AWE PLC is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of backup fuels, specifically Gas and Diesel Oil, for its operations at the Aldermaston and Burghfield sites in England. The total contract value is £600,000, and the procurement is classified under the goods category with a focus on gas oils. The procurement method used is selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from January 1, 2022, to November 30, 2024, with the tender process having ended on December 17, 2021.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the fuel supply chain, especially those that can meet substantial volume contracts and have experience supplying to large organisations. Companies that specialise in gas oil and diesel supply, including large-scale fuel companies, would be well-positioned to compete, particularly given the long-term nature of the contract which guarantees ongoing business over nearly three years.
