## Summary

The Oil and Pipelines Agency intends to procure services to remove oil from the Plumley site, transport it to a refinery, and replace it with brine. This is a specialist oil and brine haulage requirement, including the associated transport and site-removal activity. The procurement is classified as services incidental to oil extraction (CPV 76210000) and falls under a defence and security regime. Delivery is stated as taking place in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Oil and Pipelines Agency, a central government public authority. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to provide a coordinated service covering collection or removal at the site, transport to the refinery, and delivery or replacement of brine as required by the operational scope.

This process is at the planning stage: the buyer has published an intention to procure and there is no invitation to tender yet. The planned procedure is an above-threshold open procedure under the defence and security regime. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 December 2026. The estimated contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 July 2029. The estimated value is £20,000,000 excluding VAT and £24,000,000 including VAT. The procurement is planned as a single lot. It is therefore a substantial, multi-year service requirement, with the detailed tender conditions, submission arrangements and evaluation basis to be established when the procurement reaches the market.

When it reaches the market, this procurement is likely to suit established haulage, logistics and industrial services businesses with the operational capacity to remove oil from a site, transport it to a refinery and replace it with brine. Relevant suppliers may include operators experienced in oil-related transport, refinery supply chains, bulk liquid movements and coordinated site logistics. The scale and multi-year nature of the requirement favour businesses able to maintain reliable vehicles, equipment, drivers and operational management over an extended service period. Companies considering participation should prepare evidence of comparable oil or industrial haulage work, dependable transport and delivery arrangements, and the ability to manage work connected with a defence and security procurement. The scope may also suit capable specialist subcontractors working with a lead contractor.
