This tender is currently in the award stage, having published the contract notice on 14th September 2020, following the completion of the tender period which ended on 13th July 2020. The estimated total value of the framework is approximately £750 million, and it includes options for further competition post-award. This procurement is classified under the industry category of petroleum products and aims to cover multiple regions including but not limited to the North East, London, and Scotland. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of liquid fuels, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in diesel, petrol, gas oils, and greener fuel alternatives would be well-positioned to compete for this framework. Furthermore, firms with the capability to engage in eAuction processes and establish supply contracts with public bodies may find this procurement beneficial for business growth, particularly given the extensive customer base that ESPO services, including local authorities and educational institutions. ## Notice To establish a multiple supplier framework with coverage throughout England and Wales for the supply of liquid fuels for automotive and Heating purposes.
