In plain English
Lewes District Council and Eastbourne Borough Council are looking for suppliers of liquid fuel (heating oil, diesel, etc.) to join their Dynamic Purchasing System. This is a framework agreement, not a one-off purchase, meaning you would be pre-approved to supply fuel on an ongoing basis when they need it.
What the buyer wants
• Supply liquid fuel (heating oil, diesel, or similar) to the councils and their associated organisations on demand • Maintain consistent supply and quality standards • Comply with all contractual terms set out in the Dynamic Purchasing System
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract requires large-scale fuel supply infrastructure and logistics. Most small trades or one-person operations cannot compete unless they are an established fuel supplier or distributor with bulk storage, delivery vehicles, and proven experience supplying to public organisations.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
