## Description
The procurement process was managed by First Rail Holdings Ltd.
GWR and First Bus Holdings Ltd will have separate contracts.
First Bus Operating Companies and First Greater Western Railway Ltd (GWR) require the supply and delivery of fuel to their depot locations.
All GWR rail depots require Gas Oil provided in accordance with BS EN 590:2022, equivalent or better, sulphur free marked and dyed in accordance with HM Revenue & Customs Regulations. The standard applicable for FAME content should be EN14214 or an equivalent national version of the standard.
All bus depots require B7 Diesel fuel. The fuel supplied should (as a minimum) meet the specification of BS EN 590:2022, and the standard applicable for FAME content should be EN14214 or an equivalent national version of the standard.
Due to the nature of service/timetable fluctuations we require suppliers to able to deliver by bulk tankers with the ability to deliver weekdays, weekends and bank holidays if required.
Fuel orders will be placed by First Bus Fleet Services, First Bus London, First Greater Western Railway and Ensignbus at intervals to be mutually agreed between the relevant Client and the supplier.
The ability to either place or cancel orders at 24 to 48 hours' notice is required, however cancellations would be infrequent.
Deliveries will be supervised by depot staff although unsupervised deliveries may take place. All delivery drivers need to undergo a site safety briefing and comply with local site safety requirements which may include the wearing of PPE such as safety footwear, hand / eye protection and approved high visibility clothing.
The supplier is expected to provide an out of hour's on-call facility to be used in the event of delivery failures or other exceptional operating events.
The supplier is also expected to nominate a day-to-day contact for management of the contract, attend supply review meetings periodically, and to report on agreed KPIs.
The total requirement of Red and White diesel is circa 130 million Litres per annum.
