Fuel supply for vehicular ferries

⁠⁠⁠Overview

Transport for NSW is seeking reliable fuel suppliers to service its vehicular ferries located at Sackville, Lower Portland, Webbs Creek, Wisemans Ferry, Mortlake, Berowra Waters, and Bluff Point.

About

Transport for NSW operates nine vehicular ferry sites across New South Wales, serving as a lifeline for communities throughout the state. The maintenance and ongoing operation of these ferry services depend critically on a steady and dependable fuel supply. Without consistent access to fuel, Transport for NSW would be unable to sustain the level of service that communities rely upon, making fuel provisioning a key operational priority.

Purpose

This procurement initiative aims to secure reliable fuel suppliers for the named ferry sites. Reliable fuel suppliers must be contracted by the end of September 2026 to ensure continuity of service before the current purchase order allocation is exhausted.

Scope

The scope includes:

• Provision of fuel supply for vehicular ferries at Sackville, Webbs Creek, Wisemans Ferry, Lower Portland, Mortlake, Berowra Waters, and Bluff Point
• Delivery of fuel under a three-year fuel supply contract serving these locations

Contractor Requirements

• Capacity to deliver fuel on schedule
• Compliance with Transport for NSW safety and environmental specifications and standards
• Price competitiveness, as tenders will be evaluated on this basis alongside delivery capacity

Contract Terms and Conditions

• A three-year fuel supply contract has been estimated to serve the named locations
• Reliable fuel suppliers must be contracted by the end of September 2026
