## Summary

Wirral Borough Council buys fuel for delivery in England, covering diesel, biodiesel, red diesel, gas oil, petrol and DERV. The requirement is for the supply of fuels, rather than fuel-related services or infrastructure. It is managed through the Government Commercial Services National Fuels 3 arrangement, Lot 3. The council is based in Birkenhead, and the stated delivery location is England. The fuel range may suit suppliers able to provide several types of road and heating fuel through an established public-sector supply route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Certas Energy (previously GB Oils) and Standard Fuel Oils Ltd. The award was made on 30 March 2026. The awarded value is £580,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The requirement was managed as a service using the Government Commercial Services National Fuels 3 arrangement, Lot 3; the published procurement method is described only as “Other”. The tender response deadline was 20 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The recorded estimated procurement value is also £580,000. No separate evaluation criteria or lot-level award breakdown are stated.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Wirral Borough Council’s demand for a multi-fuel supply covering diesel, biodiesel, red diesel, gas oil, petrol and DERV, delivered in England through the National Fuels 3 route. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant range reliably and operate within the applicable national fuel arrangement. The two selected suppliers show that the requirement was awarded to more than one provider, so businesses should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to serve public-sector fuel needs at scale and to meet the arrangement’s participation requirements. The procurement is categorised as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller firms may need the scale or delivery capability of the selected suppliers to compete effectively.
