Order forms

All customers must complete, sign and email back either a short or long order form. These provide the authority for you to procure liquid fuels with the awarded supplier(s) under a call-off contract and the supplier to fulfil orders. 

Short order form - this should be used if you have a simple requirement for the supply of fuels, and all of the details around that requirement are covered in your completed site validation sheet. In these cases, we can run a further competition on your behalf. The short order form is attached below.

Long order form - you should use this if you have additional or more complex requirements which cannot be fully described in the site data validation sheet (for example, value added services such as SMR/SMI, different pricing options etc.). It will be your responsibility to run your own further competition.

Evaluation will be a combination of quality and price. Crown Commercial Services (CCS) are available to assist in these instances and you will need to advise CCS when you have awarded their call-off contract. For further information, email: liquidfuel@crowncommercial.gov.uk.
