This tender is currently in the Award stage, with a total value of approximately £1.3 million. The successful supplier, Certas Energy UK Limited, has an active contract signed on 4 March 2021, and the procurement method employed was limited, negotiated without prior publication due to lack of responses to the initial call for competition.

Companies with experience in delivering petroleum products to secure locations and those capable of establishing partnerships for fuel logistics will find this tender particularly advantageous. The forecasted three-year contract, which includes two firm years and an optional third, allows for stability in operations and potential for expansion within the defence sector.
