## Summary

Liverpool City Council is procuring bulk fuel for its Newton Road storage facility in Liverpool. This is a goods supply requirement for fuel delivered to the council’s facility, rather than a fuel-related service or infrastructure project. The procurement has one lot and is classified as fuels (CPV 09100000). Suppliers need to be able to supply fuel in bulk and deliver it to the specified storage facility. The requirement is relevant to fuel wholesalers and distributors serving public-sector customers in Liverpool, particularly businesses with suitable bulk storage, transport and delivery arrangements. The named facility and delivery location make this a local supply requirement; the underlying fuel type and detailed operational specifications are not set out in the structured procurement description.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to STANDARD FUEL OILS LIMITED through a direct award. The award is recorded as pending. The recorded award date is 7 October 2026, and the award value is £450,000 excluding VAT (£540,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 20 April 2027, with a scheduled signature date of 21 October 2026. The process comprised one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs. The recorded rationale classification refers to urgency, while the stated free-text rationale is “N/A”. The available data does not set out a scored evaluation model or further award criteria, so the outcome should be understood as a direct award rather than a competition evaluated against published criteria.

This award shows Liverpool City Council buying bulk fuel for its Newton Road storage facility through a direct-award route, with a single supplier responsible for the requirement. A credible supplier for a comparable future requirement would need reliable access to bulk fuel, the ability to arrange safe and dependable deliveries to a council storage site, and sufficient operational capacity to meet the buyer’s supply needs. Experience supplying public-sector or other large users, resilient sourcing and logistics, and robust safety and quality controls would help demonstrate delivery capability. The council marked the single lot as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers may be relevant where they can meet the operational scale. The awarded supplier is a large fuel company, illustrating that established fuel supply and distribution capability fits this requirement. The procurement does not identify a particular fuel grade or technical accreditation.
