## Summary

ScotRail Trains Limited has completed a procurement process to directly award a 12-month contract for the supply and delivery of diesel fuel, essential for their railway vehicles. The contract addresses six delivery locations in Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, and Perth. This contract was necessitated due to the prior supplier, Harvest Energy Limited, entering administration, creating an urgent need for fuel supply continuity. The process, classified under CPV code 09134220 for diesel fuel, was conducted under a limited procurement method without prior publication due to operational urgency. Highland Fuels Ltd has been awarded the contract and the agreement was signed on 27th August 2025, signifying the completion stage of the procurement process.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in fuel supply, particularly those with capabilities in large-scale distribution and delivery, as the contract not only provides stability but also opens avenues for future competitive bids upon its expiration. The direct award, initiated under critical urgency, highlights the strategic importance of maintaining an uninterrupted supply chain for national infrastructure, thus businesses with strong logistical and operational frameworks will find such tenders well-suited to their capabilities for future tender exercises. Moreover, the contract sets a precedent for fuel suppliers to engage with large-scale transportation projects, bolstering their credentials and market presence.

## Notice

This notice concerns the direct award of a contract for the supply and delivery of fuel (BS2869 Class A2 or BS EN590) for use in UK Railway vehicles to 6 delivery locations in Scotland; Edinburgh, Glasgow x 3, Inverness and Perth and for the supply and delivery of Diesel to BS EN590 for heating purposes to one delivery location in Glasgow. ScotRail had a fuel supply contract in place with Harvest Energy Limited, who went into Administration and ceased to be able to honour the contract. ScotRail managed to secure short term supply of fuel from another approved supplier and now plan to put a 12-month contract in place to secure a pipeline of product to enable our Diesel Fleets to continue in service, during which time a procurement exercise covering our future fuel requirements will be run.

### Lot Information

### Procurement Information

Extreme and unavoidable operational & contractual urgency as the incumbent supplier has gone into administration. It is absolutely necessary to have a supplier in place to deliver the product to facilitate continued operation of a critical national infrastructure. Given the urgent circumstances, ScotRail Trains Limited is looking to directly award a contract for a 12-month period to an approved Supplier, to ensure continuity of supply, during which time a tender exercise will be carried out. This is being done under regulation 48 1d.
