## Summary

VIA East Midlands Limited bought fuel for use across various sites in Nottinghamshire. The requirement covers the supply of fuels, classified under CPV 09100000, rather than fuel-related works or services. VIA East Midlands Limited is the public undertaking responsible for the purchase, while ESPO Trading Limited acted as the framework provider. The awarded supplier is Certas Energy UK Limited. The requirement is presented as a single fuel-supply lot and forms part of a wider framework arrangement. Businesses with fuel distribution, storage, ordering and delivery capability for multiple operational sites in Nottinghamshire would find this procurement most directly relevant. The buyer’s depot is in Bilsthorpe, although the fuel is required across various sites rather than at one stated delivery address.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Certas Energy UK Limited on 6 August 2026. It used a selective procedure through an award under a framework and was not a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2028, with a maximum extent date of 14 September 2030 under a stated 2+2-year renewal format. The awarded value is £3.2 million excluding VAT, or £3.84 million including VAT. The award and contract are above the relevant threshold. One lot was completed and awarded to the single named supplier. The procurement was evaluated and awarded through the framework route rather than by reopening competition.

This award demonstrates established demand from VIA East Midlands for a large-scale, multi-site fuel supply across Nottinghamshire. A future competitor would need to show reliable access to the required fuel products, strong supply continuity and the operational capacity to serve various sites without disruption. Relevant capability includes bulk procurement, fuel storage and distribution, coordinated deliveries, order management and responsive account support for an operational public-sector buyer. Experience of supplying organisations with dispersed sites would help demonstrate that delivery schedules, stock availability and emergency requirements can be managed consistently. Suppliers should also be able to operate effectively within a public-sector framework, understand call-off arrangements and provide clear pricing, invoicing and compliance information. The incumbent supplier is a large energy business, indicating that scale and dependable logistics are important to this requirement.
