The exercise aims to reduce carbon emissions by exploring alternative fuel options. The exercise is not a tender but seeks feedback to shape the Council's strategy. Interested suppliers are invited to complete a questionnaire on renewable fuels by the closing date of 21st October 2022. This opportunity with Hampshire County Council offers businesses in the energy and transportation sectors a chance to contribute to sustainable practices. Suppliers of renewable vehicle fuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) or other renewable alternatives are encouraged to participate. The engagement exercise provides valuable insight and an opportunity to influence the Council's future fuel procurement decisions. Businesses interested in promoting environmentally friendly solutions will find this opportunity particularly relevant. ## Notice This is a market engagement exercise to inform the development of Hampshire County Council's procurement strategy for vehicle fuels. Hampshire County Council is carrying out a market engagement exercise to assist in understanding the alternative vehicle fuel options that are available to reduce carbon emissions, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, whilst also ensuring best value compared to diesel fuels. Registration and completion of this questionnaire does not constitute an expression of interest in any tender as it is not a Selection Questionnaire (SQ). Responses will not be used to evaluate your company, create a shortlist or guarantee inclusion or exclusion from any resulting tender exercise. Suppliers will be neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by responding to the questionnaire. This exercise is to obtain feedback to inform the County Council's procurement strategy only. Any subsequent tender which may be issued will require formal registration and appropriate assessment. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Hampshire County Council has five (5) operational depot locations with bunkered diesel fuel in Hampshire. These five depots are located at: * Bishops Waltham * Hook * Micheldever * Petersfield * Totton. Each of these locations has a 22,000 litre above ground double bunded fuel tank with fuel use GPS telemetry systems. The fuel at these locations is used by a wide variety of County Council and sub-contractors' vehicles. A total of just over 1 million litres of fuel is drawn per annum across these five sites, with the winter months being a particularly busy period due to the dedicated gritters using a lot more fuel. The estimated number of deliveries of fuel a year for each location is shown in below: * Bishops Waltham: 28 deliveries a year * Hook: 20 deliveries a year * Micheldever: 19 deliveries a year * Petersfield: 14 deliveries a year * Totton: 19 deliveries a year. HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE The purpose of this market engagement exercise is to ask suppliers of vehicle fuels what options are available to the County Council to replace diesel fuel with cost-effective alternative renewable fuels. The questionnaire should only be completed if you currently supply one or more of the following vehicle fuels: * renewable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel * any blended HVO fuel products * any other renewable fuels.
