## Summary

The procurement process titled "The Provision of Liquid Fuels" was conducted by Oxford Direct Services Limited (ODSL), focusing on the supply of petroleum and distillates under the Crown Commercial Services RM6177 National Fuels 2 framework. This mini-competition was aimed at sourcing liquid fuel for the ODS fleet and included delivery to two depots in Oxford: Cowley Marsh Depot and Cutteslowe Park. The procurement, categorised under goods, followed a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition and was active as of 30 August 2024, with an initial contract term of two years starting 1 October 2024, potentially extending to a third year. The key procurement stage is the award, with Certas Energy UK Limited successfully awarded the contract valued at £3,400,000.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fuel supply, particularly those adept in offering competitive pricing and sustainable fuel solutions. Ideal candidates would be experienced contractors capable of delivering high-quality liquid fuels such as diesel and AdBlue, managing efficient logistics, and perhaps integrating innovative and eco-friendly approaches. The contract invites vendors who can work closely with ODS’s Motor Transport team to service a diverse fleet, thus suiting companies with a robust supply chain and expertise in regional fuel distribution.
