Petroleum Contracts and Tenders

Petroleum tenders cover the supply of fuel products such as diesel, petrol, gas oil and heating fuel to UK public sector buyers, along with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and fleet fuel card contracts. Councils, NHS trusts, fire and rescue services and transport operators all run these tenders to keep vehicles, generators and heating systems supplied with fuel.

Local councils, NHS trusts and integrated care boards, fire and rescue services, police forces, rail and transport operators, and central government departments including the Ministry of Defence all procure petroleum and fuel supply contracts. Many buy through call-offs against national frameworks rather than running a standalone tender each time.

The tenders Stotles tracks cover diesel, unleaded petrol, gas oil, heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and bulk fuel supply for depots, vehicle fleets, generators and heating plant, as well as fuel card contracts that let drivers refuel at forecourts nationwide.

Most fuel supply contracts are awarded through multi-year agreements or call-offs against national and regional frameworks, such as those run by the Crown Commercial Service and professional buying organisations, rather than open tenders for every purchase. Awards often list frameworks and lots rather than a single nationwide contract.
