## Summary

The procurement process titled "Liquid Fuels" was conducted by The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, addressing the requirement for diesel fuel provision across the UK, specifically targeting the South East region classified under UKJ2. The procurement, classified under the goods category and CPV code 09134200, was initiated without a prior call for competition, utilising the Crown Commercial Services National Fuels 3 Framework (RM6305). Although the tender process is complete, the initial planned provision under Lot 1 was eventually cancelled, and the contract valued at £3,400,000 was awarded to Certas Energy Limited following an eAuction. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 25th February 2026, with the award conclusions drawn on 13th March 2026.

Businesses in the liquid fuels industry stand to gain substantial growth opportunities by engaging with procurement processes like these, particularly those aligned with public sector requirements across regional or local authority frameworks. The contracting authority, leveraging mechanisms like the CCS National Fuels 3 Framework, presents an inviting landscape for companies capable of delivering quality fuel products directly to customer premises, facilitating fuel supply across crucial public services managed by fire, local, and police authorities. Large-scale suppliers, with the capability to meet strict criteria on price, would be ideal candidates for such contracts, especially if they can demonstrate robust service delivery in competitive auctions.
