[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](https://tendernation.io/opportunities/for-small-businesses) ## About this tender Transport for London (TfL) is seeking to gauge interest and obtain feedback in relation to the Woolwich Ferry Bunker Barge Fuel Supply Contract, through an Expression of Interest (EOI) form. The primary focus is to better understand the market, supplier appetite, capacity and capability to continue supplying fuel to the Woolwich Ferry by bunker barge. This is not a call for competition but is an early market engagement exercise to enable TfL to better understand the market appetite, capacity and capability to supply fuel to the Woolwich Ferry by bunker barge. Due to operational and infrastructure constraints, ferry fuel must be supplied to the two vessels by barge. The vessels were built to receive fuel easily by barge and the engines are built specifically to receive Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (10ppm). The combined fuel consumption between the two vessels is within the range of 4,000 litres and 12,000 litres per week. This fluctuation is determined by service frequency and whether both vessels are in operation. Fuel delivery occurs outside of ferry service hours and requires delivery crews to connect the hoses to the ferry for fuel transfer. TfL envisages this contract will be with a single supplier and be in place from August 2022 for a duration between 6 months and 15 months. The supplier will need to be licensed with the Port of London Authority (PLA) to supply fuel on the River Thames, London. In parallel, TfL is exploring alternative fuelling arrangements for the future, such as to allow road-tanker delivery, however that will be the subject of its own PIN/procurement exercise. This notice is specifically for the purpose of establishing market interest for the provision of bunker barge fuel supply.
