Descriptions

ESPO in collaboration with West Mercia Energy and on behalf of CBC is looking to create a two year multisupplier framework agreement for the supply and delivery of a range of liquid fuel supplies, including heating oils, automotive fuels and additives on behalf of central government, local authorities, public and third sector organisations within England and Wales. This ESPO framework will have a 24 month extension option. The total estimated values stated include the option period. The range of liquid fuels will include, Diesel, Bio-Diesel, Unleaded Petrol, Super-Unleaded Petrol, Gas Oil and Kerosene and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) additives. This framework contract is available for use by eligible Public Sector establishments throughout England and Wales. The intention is to have sufficient number of suppliers per Region, to ensure adequate supply of capacity to meet customer demand. There are likely to be between 5-6 suppliers per Region (11 Regions), although the contracting authority recognise that some successful suppliers will offer coverage throughout all Regions. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement. As Central Purchasing Bodies as defined by the EU Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU, the Framework Agreement is open for use by the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authority Councils; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies and Local Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; Any Public Body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament.
