## Summary

Chelmsford City Council procured a short-term supply and delivery of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel. The fuel supports the Council’s Climate and Ecological Emergency Action Plan and its carbon-reduction objectives. This is a fuel supply requirement, rather than fuel-related installation or other works. Delivery is in the Chelmsford area, England. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and relates specifically to HVO; the stated purpose is to help the Council reduce carbon emissions through its operations. The selected supplier, Craggs Energy Limited, is based in West Yorkshire, but the requirement’s delivery location is Chelmsford.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Craggs Energy Limited on 1 October 2026. The award value is £330,000 excluding VAT (£396,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 January 2027, covering three months of supply. The Council used a selective procedure to make an award under a framework, with competition for the framework call-off. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is complete. The published information does not set out separate award-scoring criteria; it identifies the route as a competitive framework award.

For suppliers considering future HVO requirements from Chelmsford City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a sizeable, time-limited fuel supply with delivery to the Chelmsford area. A credible competitor would need to source HVO reliably, manage the required volumes and coordinate deliveries to meet the Council’s operational needs. The stated environmental purpose makes the ability to supply the specified lower-carbon fuel central to the requirement, rather than general fuel-delivery capability alone. The buyer used a competitive call-off under a framework, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. The award shows that the Council has bought HVO to support its carbon-reduction objectives; it does not establish that other fuel types or related services are part of this requirement.
