## Summary

Staffordshire County Council is currently in the tender stage for a procurement entitled "Biomass Fuel Supply," focusing on the supply of bulk-blown wood pellet heating fuel. The contract, identified by reference IA3826, is categorised under the industry sectors of Fuel wood and Wood fuels and aims to supply biomass fuel to five distinct locations across Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Prospective suppliers should note that the tender process is conducted through an open below-threshold competition, with submissions and all relevant procurement documents being managed via the Council's Proactis eProcurement platform. Interested parties should participate by 26th June 2026, as this marks the end of the tender period, following an enquiry period which ends on 19th June 2026.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in biomass fuel supply, specifically those qualified to meet ENplus A1 specifications and hold Biomass Suppliers List accreditation. With an estimated annual supply requirement of up to 230 tonnes across several sites, the contract holds a gross value of £189,000.
