## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract titled "Provision of Aviation Fuel" within the general public services sector. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, has now reached the award and contract stage, with the contract being signed on 12th August 2024. This process involved servicing airports located in Inverness, Stornoway, Sumburgh, and Kirkwall, with the scope specifically directed at fuelling the government's two aircraft. The contract, valued at £155,333, was awarded to Air BP (UK) Limited, with the procurement method noted as limited without prior publication due to the unique capability of the supplier to fulfil the requirements across the four specified airports. The headquarters of the buying organisation is in Aberdeen, accessible via Bob McLeod, with the supplier headquartered in Milton Keynes.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises within the aviation fuel supply industry. Larger companies, akin to Air BP (UK) Limited, that possess the logistical capabilities and market reach to cover multiple UK airports, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Additionally, businesses specialising in fuel services and those that can meet unique technical requirements in the absence of market competition are ideal candidates. Participating in similar government procurement processes can provide sustained revenue streams and establish firms as key players in the sector’s supply chain for public services.
