- Ability to supply bulk diesel fuel suitable for fire appliance engines
- Ability to supply bulk petrol fuel suitable for fire appliance engines

- Compliance with fuel quality standards for highway vehicle use

How to Read This Tender
- 1Check the full tender documents for the list of specific depot locations and how many deliveries per month are expected — this affects your logistics costs
- 2Look for the fuel volume estimates (litres per month or annual consumption) — this determines pricing and whether you need storage capacity
- 3Find the payment terms section — public sector contracts often have 30-day payment windows, which affects cash flow for small suppliers
- 4Identify any fuel price adjustment clauses — fuel costs fluctuate, so see if prices are fixed or linked to market indices
- 5Search for environmental and sustainability requirements — many councils now mandate low-carbon or bio-blend fuel options
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small fuel distributor, consider partnering with a larger fuel supplier who handles logistics — you can bid as a consortium or subcontract the delivery, keeping a margin
- Ask SFRS upfront for their typical monthly fuel consumption and depot locations before bidding — this lets you calculate realistic delivery costs and avoid over-committing
- Check if SFRS values social value (e.g., local employment, community benefits) in their scoring — even small commitments like apprenticeships or local sourcing can boost your bid
