## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has recently completed a tender for the Global Bulk Fuels Services (GBFS) project, a multi-supplier framework agreement designed for the supply of fuels globally. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the fuels industry, and was based in the United Kingdom. The contract is valued at approximately £800 million, with the contract period commencing on 14th November 2020 and extending until 13th November 2024.

As the contract period progresses, there may arise further procurement opportunities, influencing the competitive landscape for those positioned within this industry.
