The requirement covers supplying fuel and providing a tank fueler capable of delivering it to the site so that flying training can take place. The tanker specification and delivery requirements are set out in the procurement documents. This is a goods requirement involving kerosene-type jet fuel and fuel-tanker trucks (CPV 09131100 and 34133110). Delivery is required in the United Kingdom, for activity associated with the Northern Ireland University Air Squadron. The opportunity is relevant to businesses that can source, handle, transport and deliver aviation fuel, and that can provide a suitable tanker and associated delivery service for a defence training operation. The procurement has reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers through an open procedure. Questions could be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 25 September 2026 at 23:59. Offers are submitted electronically through the Defence Sourcing Portal, using a free registered account. The estimated value is £613,000 excluding VAT, or £735,600 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2030, with two optional 12-month extensions. The award decision is due by 31 October 2026 at 23:59. There is one lot, suitable for SMEs. Evaluation is based on value for money, with price identified as the award criterion. Economic and technical selection requirements apply through the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and tender documents. This opportunity suits fuel suppliers, aviation-fuel distributors and specialist tanker operators able to combine reliable fuel provision with delivery to an airfield or aviation training site. Competitors need access to the required kerosene-type aviation fuel and a tank fueler capable of meeting the specification and supporting scheduled training activity. The requirement calls for both product supply and transport capability, so it may also suit a partnership between a fuel provider and a suitably equipped haulage or tanker business. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable. Bidders will need to demonstrate that they meet the economic and technical requirements set out in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and tender documents. Businesses with experience handling and delivering aviation fuel should examine the tanker specification and operational requirements carefully. ## Notice The Authority has a requirement for the supply of fuel and provision of tank fueler at Northern Ireland University Air Squadron (NIUAS). The fuel tanker must deliver the fuel to the site for training to take place.
