## Summary

The NEPO307 Liquid Fuels procurement process, managed by the Association of North East Councils Limited, focuses on the procurement of petroleum products and other energy sources within the UK. The process utilised an Open procedure and concluded the award stage as of 13th August 2025. The framework agreement is worth £120,000,000 and is divided into ten lots, each covering various regional and national requirements for petrol, diesel, and other fuels. The contract will run from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2029. The procurement classification falls under the CPV code for petroleum products and is targeted at facilitating a wide range of public authorities across the UK. The formal tender period concluded on 11th March 2025.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs that meet the suitability criteria outlined in the framework. Companies in the petroleum and fuels industry will find this tender particularly suited to their capacity to deliver large-scale supply across multiple regions. The structure enables suppliers to engage in sub-regional competitive bidding, ensuring opportunities for diverse business profiles and scales. The framework intends to rank suppliers to maximise the efficiency and reliability of deliveries, thereby offering continuous business opportunities throughout its four-year duration.
