    Brief

    This is a competitive tender for the supply and delivery of 120,000 cubic metres of F-35 aviation fuel to support Ministry of Defence operations. The contract is awarded through the Global Bulk Fuels Framework Agreement (GBFS2) on a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) basis over a 6-month period. The contract value is subject to a market pricing mechanism, meaning the price will fluctuate in line with market rates throughout the contract duration. The published contract value is indicative only and represents rates at the time of award. Suppliers must be capable of delivering large-scale fuel quantities reliably and efficiently to meet defence fuel requirements.
