Description
The procurement has been undertaken as per UK4 Tender notice identifier: 2026/S 000-066931 (000-066931); Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05225c.
ESPO is a public sector-owned professional buying organisation offering a comprehensive range of procurement services, including access to over 100 free-to-access framework solutions for the wider public sector.
We are establishing a framework for the supply of liquid fuels, notably automotive fuels and heating oil.
Recognising the geographical nature of this market, ESPO has structured the framework into multiple Lots using NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) codes to define regional groupings across the United Kingdom. A total of 54 Lots are awarded based on these geographic regions.
Customers will typically take delivery into their own bulk tanks however; the framework also includes a provision to offer Fuel Bunkering to support any customer seeking to purchase bulk fuel for their fuel card arrangements.
To ensure transparency and alignment with market conditions, the pricing of liquid fuels supplied under this framework will be referenced against the relevant Platts Oil Price Index (Platts), typically on a weekly lagged basis.
HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), Biodiesel and similar renewable and alternative fuels are included within the scope of this Framework to support emerging customer needs across the public sector.
