Fuel specialist Craggs Energy has been awarded a position on ESPO’s new 301_26 Liquid Fuels framework giving facilities and estates teams across England, Wales and Scotland a new compliant route to source HVO, kerosene, gas oil and diesel for machinery, vehicles and buildings.
The place on the framework, which runs through to 17 August 2028, comes as public bodies re-establish call-off arrangements following the expiry of the previous framework. This is particularly relevant for public sector facilities and estate managers reviewing their supplier arrangements at a key point in the year when they are looking ahead to winter heating planning and standby generator testing.
Unlike earlier single-supplier-per- region models, 301_26 appoints multiple suppliers, allowing facilities and estates teams to make decisions on criteria that matter to them, rather than focusing on price alone. The framework provides for up to approximately 300 million litres over its two-year term.
Employee-owned fuel distributor Craggs Energy will supply HVO, kerosene, red and white diesel, and Flame, covering England, Wales and Scotland – excluding the Highlands
and Northern Ireland – through its established network of trusted distribution partners.
With a 98.5% on-time delivery performance record, Craggs Energy brings years of public sector supply experience. From schools like Tatham Fells Primary School to local authorities such as Exeter City Council and NHS organisations including Liverpool Women’s Hospital NHS Trust and NHS Property Services.
HVO can be used as a drop in alternative to white diesel, meaning estate teams can change to a greener alternative existing vehicles, machinery, generators or storage infrastructure.
As an employee-owned business, Craggs Energy’s staff have a personal stake in the company, giving peace of mind to buyers that those responsible for taking orders, planning delivery routes and handling out-of-hours calls are focused on delivering the very best service under the framework.
The employee-owned structure also has a straightforward commercial relevance for public sector buyers, as employee making in the business rather than
with external shareholders. This gives when scoring social value under the Procurement Act 2023.
Lisa Bennett, CEO of Craggs Energy, said: “Facilities and Estates management teams in the public sector are being asked to do three things at once — keep sites running without interruption, take carbon out of their operations, and demonstrate value and social value on every pound they spend. Fuel supply touches all three.
301_26 Liquid Fuels framework, public sector customers can use us compliantly and quickly. But what we pride ourselves on most is our outstanding service levels and track record of delivering when it matters most, responding quickly, competitively and effectively when our company mantra: ‘What matters to you matters to us’.”
Public sector organisations, including schools, councils, NHS bodies, housing providers and emergency services, can access Craggs Energy through ESPO framework 301_26 without running their own tender process.
