## Summary

Torridge District Council procured diesel and AdBlue for its Operational Services vehicle fleet. This is a fuel supply contract, delivered in Devon. The requirement covers fuel for the council’s operational vehicles and was sourced through the ESPO Liquid Fuel Framework Agreement. The procurement was arranged as one lot, with the council buying the supplies for its fleet.

The procurement has been awarded to MB Energy Limited. Torridge District Council made the award on 10 September 2026, under a selective procedure as a non-competitive framework call-off. The award value is £1,343,379 excluding VAT (£1,612,054.80 including VAT). The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with two possible one-year extensions, potentially taking it to 30 September 2030. The contract covers one lot. The award record does not state the evaluation criteria used.

For suppliers looking towards a future requirement from Torridge District Council, this award demonstrates demand for diesel and AdBlue to support its Operational Services vehicle fleet, supplied through a liquid-fuel framework. A credible competitor would need to be able to source and supply both fuels reliably for a fleet-based public-sector customer, and to meet the framework’s call-off requirements. The scale of the award points to a substantial, multi-year fuel supply rather than a small or occasional delivery. Fuel distributors with established supply capacity and experience serving public bodies are the closest fit; suppliers offering only one of the two products would need a partner or other route to cover the complete requirement. The named supplier is MB Energy Limited.
