## Summary

The Shetland Islands Council has recently completed the procurement process for the supply and delivery of Marine Grade Gas Oil under a contract titled "Supply and Delivery of Marine Grade Gas Oil to Shetland Islands Council." This procurement activity, categorised under the "goods" industry and focusing on fuel oils, was conducted using a competitive procedure with negotiation. The contract, assigned to WORLD FUEL SERVICES EUROPE LTD, is a single supplier Framework Agreement aimed to fulfil the council’s requirement of approximately five million litres of Marine Grade Gas Oil annually. Delivery locations are throughout the Shetland Islands, with the contract being in the award stage with a value of £12,000,000 signed on 30th January 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine fuel supply to engage with regional authorities such as the Shetland Islands Council. Companies experienced in providing large-scale fuel oil deliveries and ship refuelling services are well-suited to participate in similar tenders. The procurement method encourages competitive pricing strategies, with an evaluation approach predominantly based on price (80%) and quality (20%). Demonstrating reliability in supply and logistical capability throughout the Shetland Islands can position businesses to secure future call-off contracts under this framework, fostering business growth through public sector engagements.
