## Summary

Portsmouth City Council procured hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel as a goods supply for its waste collection fleet. The requirement covers supplying fuel for municipal refuse and waste vehicles, supporting the council’s operational fleet in Portsmouth. This is a specialist fuel supply opportunity rather than vehicle operation, fleet maintenance or waste collection services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include fuel distributors, renewable diesel suppliers and organisations able to provide HVO for local authority vehicle operations. The procurement relates to one requirement and one delivery area, centred on Portsmouth. The buyer is Portsmouth City Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for the waste collection fleet using the fuel.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is ‘unknown’. It covered one lot. Crown Oil Ltd was selected as supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its gross value is £31,120. The procurement was evaluated as a fuel supply requirement for the waste collection fleet. The published outcome records the contract as active and below the applicable threshold. The award concerns the supply of HVO fuel to Portsmouth City Council for the stated delivery period.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for HVO fuel to operate a waste collection fleet. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to HVO, fuel distribution capability and the capacity to supply a council fleet in Portsmouth without disrupting collection operations. Experience in commercial or public-sector fuel supply would help demonstrate dependable fulfilment, particularly where vehicles require consistent availability and deliveries must align with operational requirements. Crown Oil Ltd, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist supplier rather than only a large national organisation. Relevant businesses include renewable fuel distributors and established fleet-fuelling providers.
