## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council buys industrial gases for its Education Resources, Support Services and School Estate, and its Community and Enterprise Resources, Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services. The gases are used mainly to heat Council-owned buildings and for general maintenance work by Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services; most spending is attributable to Education Services. Supply and delivery are required in South Lanarkshire. This is a goods contract for industrial gases, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), procured through the national fuels framework. The requirement is intended to maintain continuity of supply across the Council’s buildings and services while supporting value for money and compliance with procurement rules.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Calor Gas Ltd. The Council used a further competition under Lot 2 of the GCA National Fuels 3 framework, through a restricted procedure. One bid was recorded. The contract is active and was signed on 24 July 2026, with a value of £270,000. Its four-year term runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, with no extension option. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the supply of industrial gases, including LPG. The award was made for that lot. The published outcome does not state a separate award date or describe the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows recurring demand from South Lanarkshire Council for dependable industrial-gas supply and delivery, especially LPG for heating Council-owned buildings, with additional use in roads, transport and fleet maintenance. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the capacity to serve multiple Council services and delivery sites, maintain continuity of supply over a sustained contract, and meet the relevant framework and public-sector contracting requirements. The Council’s use of a further competition through the national fuels framework indicates that framework access is central to this buying route. The single recorded bid and the award to an established large gas supplier show that competition may favour suppliers able to combine reliable supply logistics with the scale to meet public-sector demand.
