## Summary

The Forestry Commission has successfully completed the award stage for a framework agreement concerning the Bulk Fuel Tanks Framework. The procurement focussed on the provision of services for installations, replacements, statutory inspections, certification, maintenance, and remedial works of static fuel tanks throughout the estate. The process utilised an open procurement method, with the framework awarded to BMS-BULK METER SERVICES LIMITED, designated as a single supplier framework. The operation spans various regions within the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Initially tendered in July 2025, the contract was signed on 1st December 2025, and it is active, set to run until 23rd November 2027, with a potential extension option available based on performance metrics.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in technical inspection and installation services. SMEs with expertise in oil storage tanks and engineering structure inspections will find this contract advantageous. The framework's focus on systematic inspections, replacements, and comprehensive maintenance services implies that companies offering installation, certification, and remedial works for fuel storage infrastructures could benefit significantly. With emphasis given to aspects such as work planning, health and safety, and further remedial works, the framework supports business growth by demanding consistent and quality service delivery across multiple regions, ensuring innovative adaptations that support ongoing operational excellence in the fuel storage sector.
