## Summary

Epping Forest District Council procured liquid fuels for delivery in Epping. The requirement covers diesel fuel, biodiesel and related petroleum, coal and oil products, with diesel as the main category of supply (CPV 09134200). This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. The scope is the provision and delivery of fuel products to support the council’s operational needs. The buyer is Epping Forest District Council, based at its Civic Offices in Epping, England. Suppliers operating in the commercial fuel supply, petroleum distribution or bulk fuel delivery markets would be relevant, particularly those able to provide both standard diesel and biodiesel alongside associated oil products.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was valued at £650,000. The submission deadline was 5 September 2025 at 12:00. The award was made on 17 October 2025 to Rix Petroleum (Hull) Ltd, at an awarded value of £650,000. The awarded contract runs from 10 November 2025 to 30 September 2026. The process is complete and the award is active. The requirement was treated as a single supply, with no suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises recorded. The evaluation basis was the framework call-off procedure.

This award shows a defined requirement for the recurring commercial supply and delivery of diesel, biodiesel and related petroleum products to Epping Forest District Council. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to liquid fuel stocks, established distribution arrangements and the capacity to deliver consistently to the council’s operational location. Experience in public-sector or framework-based fuel supply would be relevant, as would the ability to manage call-off orders, product specifications and delivery scheduling. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable bulk-fuel logistics, compliance with applicable fuel handling and transport requirements, and capability across both conventional diesel and biodiesel. The incumbent is a large supplier, indicating that scale, operational capacity and dependable fulfilment are important competitive factors.
