## Summary

The procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) in Swindon, Wiltshire, focused on the supply of Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil (LSMGO) fuel for RRS Sir David Antarctic service in Montevideo, Uruguay, required in November 2025. The contracting organisation falls under the category of public authority - central government. The contract was directly awarded to Bunker One (UK) Ltd on the grounds of extreme urgency, as stipulated by the Procurement Act 2023. The contract, valued at USD 978,300, had a contractual period from 19th December to 31st December 2025. Despite being completed, the contract underwent termination with the rationale classified as "contract completed" on 31st December 2025.

This tender establishes promising business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises dealing in fuel supply, as evidenced by the direct award to a large supplier. Companies with swift supply chain capabilities to manage urgent deliveries from the United Kingdom to international locations such as Uruguay would find themselves competitive candidates. The requirement for meeting urgent fuel needs strengthens prospects for firms specialised in logistical solutions, aiming to expand their operations in international marine supply areas.
