## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, involves an open procedure for a framework agreement titled "92_26 Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and BioLPG". This framework covers the supply of bulk propane and gas cylinders across the United Kingdom. The procurement is under the category of fuels and adheres to the applicable guidelines set by the Procurement Act 2023. The award stage of the process saw Calor Gas Limited and Flogas Britain Limited as the selected suppliers, with contracts signed on 29th April 2026. The framework is set for a period from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2028, with potential extensions up to a total value of £20 million GBP. The process is concluded, with significant focus on goods delivery and adherence to technical and economic criteria as per tender documents.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies involved in the supply of liquefied fuels within the UK. Large-scale suppliers such as Calor Gas Limited and Flogas Britain Limited have successfully engaged in this framework, highlighting the potential for similar businesses to find new customers across public sectors, including local authorities, educational establishments, and emergency services. The framework facilitates business growth by setting a structured yet flexible procurement environment through a combination of competitive and non-competitive call-off methods, which allows diverse suppliers to participate to meet public sector needs efficiently. Companies geared towards providing qualitative high-volume LPG or BioLPG supply would be well-placed to compete effectively in such frameworks. Additionally, SMEs are acknowledged, presenting an inclusive opportunity landscape.
