The Provincial Council of Bizkaia has awarded the framework agreement for fuel supply for the 2027-2030 period, which covers the supply for the Council’s, the provincial public sector entities’, and the Bizkaia municipalities’ vehicles and machinery. The decision was taken during the ordinary meeting held on August 26 and was published in the Official Gazette of Bizkaia (BOB, issue 179) on September 18, with the official reference BOB-2026a179-(I-1058). The agreement is included in the summary of decisions of the Council’s governing board, in the section corresponding to the Department of Public Administration and Institutional Relations.

The publication is located in Section I of the Gazette, titled Provincial Administration of the Historical Territory of Bizkaia, and contains the full list of items approved during the ordinary meeting of August 26. The summary was signed in Bilbao on September 1, 2026: Nerea Karmele López-Uribarri Goicolea, head of the General Secretariat Unit, was the signatory, with the approval of provincial deputy and secretary Ager Izagirre Loroño. 40 items were examined during that meeting, and the framework agreement for fuel supply was the sixth point.

Content and Scope of the Agreement

The agreement regulates the fuel supply for a set of vehicles and machinery, and specifies three groups of beneficiaries:

• The Provincial Council of Bizkaia, with its vehicles and machinery.
• Provincial public sector entities.
• Municipalities of the Historical Territory of Bizkaia.

The period of validity is from 2027 to 2030, that is, a four-year term. The published summary does not include the economic amount nor the name of the awardee; therefore, these details of the decision were not disclosed through the Gazette.

Other Decisions from the Same Meeting

The meeting of August 26 included many items besides the fuel supply. Among them:

• The 10th modification of the maintenance contract for the Council’s electrical and security services for the 2024-2025 period was approved and awarded.
• The change of boundaries between the municipalities of Zeanuri and Ubide, between markers M-11 and M-12, was approved.
• The project modification for the works on the Ibaizabalgo bike path, in the Erletxe-Boroa section, was awarded.
• The persons who will represent the Council on the institutional monitoring committee for Line 4 of the Bilbao Metro (Matiko-Irauregi) were appointed.
• The multi-annual expenses for the comprehensive project of the LBVR experience for the 150th anniversary of the Economic Agreement were authorized.

Official Publication and Processing

The decision was published in the Official Gazette of Bizkaia, issue 179, on September 18, 2026, in Section I, pages 1-4, with the official reference BOB-2026a179-(I-1058). The document is a summary of the provincial government’s decisions and does not contain the full basis of the bidding procedure; to obtain that information, the Council’s contracting profile should be consulted.

This framework agreement provides the Provincial Council, the institutions of the provincial public sector, and the municipalities of Bizkaia with a unified supply framework for four years, and enables the unification of fuel supply management in the medium term. The practical importance of the decision is evident for the large number of beneficiaries: small municipalities and provincial institutions will have the opportunity to be supplied under the same conditions from 2027 onwards, which may help reduce the administrative procurement burden.
