In the crude petroleum and natural gas area, public contracts arise mainly from state energy utilities, utility contracting entities in the supply sector, and procurement of fuels and heating oil.
Typical types of contract:
- Fuel deliveries to authorities: Fuel for public vehicle fleets, armed forces, police
- Heating-oil deliveries: Procurement for public buildings without district-heating connection
- Gas supply contracts: Natural gas procurement for public properties
- Drilling-technology services: Geothermal drilling, well drilling
- Pipeline and plant maintenance: Maintenance of public supply infrastructure

FAQ
Which fuel procurements are tendered publicly? Authorities with large vehicle fleets (armed forces, police, emergency services) regularly tender fuel deliveries. Framework agreements for diesel, petrol and AdBlue with defined call-off volumes are typical.
Are gas supply contracts for public buildings tendered? Yes. Public-building managers frequently tender natural gas supplies in the open procedure. The threshold for supply contracts of public contracting authorities is EUR 221,000 (EU 2024/2025).
