## Summary

Coventry City Council procured diesel and gas oil for its operational requirements, seeking a reliable, compliant and cost-effective fuel supply and continuity of supply. This is a supply contract for liquid fuels, classified as fuels (CPV 09100000). The Council sought one supplier through the ESPO Liquid Fuels Framework. Delivery is in Coventry, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Council selected Standard Fuel Oils Limited as sole supplier through a competitive award under the ESPO Liquid Fuels Framework. The award was made on 22 October 2026, for £6 million excluding VAT (£7.2 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2030. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published evaluation basis is best value for money through competition; no detailed scoring criteria are included in the process information.

For suppliers seeking to compete when Coventry City Council next buys this requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a dependable source of both diesel and gas oil, capable of supporting the Council’s operational needs. A credible competitor would need to show that it can maintain continuity of supply, meet applicable compliance requirements and offer competitive value through the ESPO Liquid Fuels Framework route. The Council chose a sole supplier, so the successful offer had to cover the requirement as a whole rather than a discrete fuel lot. This is a substantial, multi-year supply requirement suited to established fuel suppliers with the capacity and distribution arrangements to serve Coventry reliably.
