## Summary

The Shetland Islands Council has concluded a procurement process for the supply and delivery of Marine Grade Gas Oil to fuel its marine vessels. This contract, awarded to WORLD FUEL SERVICES EUROPE LTD, involves delivering approximately five million litres annually to various locations throughout the Shetland Islands. The procurement operates under a 12-month single supplier Framework Agreement, extendable up to three additional years. The procurement used a competitive procedure with negotiation, and the award was signed on 30th January 2026. The industry category for this tender is goods, specifically within the scope of general public services, and delivery locations are identified in the UKM66 region.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fuel delivery and logistics, particularly those capable of handling large-scale shipments of compliant marine oil, as specified by ISO 8217 Grade DMA standards. The procurement was selective, using a competitive procedure with a heavy emphasis on price (80%) over quality (20%). Companies with the capability to assure security of supply and an established track record in similar supplies over the past three years would find themselves particularly well-suited to compete effectively in similar tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises also have competitive chances, evidenced by the variability in bid submissions, including from SMEs and non-EU entrants.
