## Summary

The procurement process initiated by ScotRail Trains Limited for the "Fuel Supply Agreement" involves a direct award of a contract for supplying and delivering fuel for railway vehicles and heating purposes across multiple locations in Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, and Perth. This process falls within the Railway Services industry category and is located within the UKM region. The procurement method was limited due to urgent circumstances following the administration of the previous supplier, Harvest Energy Limited. The award was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, under regulation 48 1d, to ensure the continuity of critical national infrastructure operations. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been signed on 26th September 2025, and the award date being 27th February 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the fuel supply chain, particularly those specialising in railway services or large-scale fuel delivery. Companies with the capability to rapidly adapt to operational urgencies and scale their supply processes can leverage this contract to solidify their presence in the transport fuel industry. Given the nature of the procurement, large companies with an existing infrastructure for distributing BS2869 Class A2 or BS EN590 fuels, like Highland Fuels Ltd, would be well-suited to compete. The successful direct award indicates strong potential for businesses equipped to handle similar urgent supply needs, thereby enabling expansion in a strategic sector critical to national transport operations.

## Notice

This notice concerns the direct award of a contract for the supply and delivery of fuel (BS2869 Class A2 or BS EN590) for use in UK Railway vehicles to 6 delivery locations in Scotland; Edinburgh, Glasgow x 3, Inverness and Perth and for the supply and delivery of Diesel to BS EN590 for heating purposes to one delivery location in Glasgow. ScotRail had a fuel supply contract in place with Harvest Energy Limited, who went into Administration and ceased to be able to honour the contract. ScotRail managed to secure short term supply of fuel from another approved supplier and now plan to put a 12-month contract in place to secure a pipeline of product to enable our Diesel Fleets to continue in service, during which time a procurement exercise covering our future fuel requirements will be run.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Direct award of a 12 month contract under regulation 48 1d following SRTs contracted supplier (Harvest) going into Administration. SRT needs to secure a pipeline of product to enable our Diesel Fleets to continue in service, during which time a tender covering our future fuel requirements will be run.. The value provided in this notice is an indicative estimate only, as usage & fuel costs vary significantly.

### Procurement Information

Extreme and unavoidable operational & contractual urgency as the incumbent supplier has gone into administration. It is absolutely necessary to have a supplier in place to deliver the product to facilitate continued operation of a critical national infrastructure. Given the urgent circumstances, ScotRail Trains Limited is looking to directly award a contract for a 12-month period to an approved Supplier, to ensure continuity of supply, during which time a tender exercise will be carried out. This is being done under regulation 48 1d.
