Request for Tender - Preferred Supplier Arrangement Supply and Delivery of Bulk Fuel

Summary and scope

Barcoo Shire Council is currently in the process of establishing a preferred supplier listing for the supply and delivery of bulk fuels (Diesel, ULP91, ULP98, Avgas & Jet A1). This supply is both for the operations of Council as well as for commercial purposes as Council operates a roadhouse in the township of Jundah including the sale of Diesel and Unleaded fuels as well as the sale of aviation fuels at the Airport in the township of Windorah. The preferred supplier arrangement is being established and regular quotations will be sought from suppliers which are part of the preferred supplier panel for a period of 2 years with the option for an extension of up to 12 months. Suppliers are asked to complete the included response form to enable Council to consider their inclusion on the preferred supplier panel for the purposes of requesting quotations. Inclusion on the panel does not guarantee the future use of the supplier but supplier will be asked to quote on supply over the 2 year period of the supplier arrangement. Council may “refresh” the register of pre-qualified suppliers at any time during the contract term. The refresh will involve Council issuing a new request for tender. Unless otherwise advised by Council, only new suppliers will be required to respond. New suppliers who tender will be evaluated against the same criteria as the original tenderers were.
