After a competitive tender under the framework agreement AQ-CR-22 for the supply of road fuels throughout mainland Portugal, the contract was signed on September 9, 2025.
Contract Details and Scope
The awarded tender, officially named P01AQ/2025-Aquisição de Combustíveis Líquidos, is related to the supply of automotive fuels for the Câmara Municipal de Sintra (Sintra City Council) and is classified under CPV code 09100000 (Fuels). With a 24-month performance period, the estimated contract value is €1,000,000,000 (VAT excluded).
Three electronic tenders were received during the open procurement process, and B2 Mobility GmbH was the highest-ranked bidder based only on price. The contract, known as Contract No. 775/2025, is governed by Directive 2014/25/EU, which governs public procurement in Portugal.
Organisations Taking Part
The Câmara Municipal de Sintra is the review body, and the Serviços Municipalizados de Água e Saneamento de Sintra (SMAS Sintra), a local body in charge of water and sanitation services, was the contracting authority. The headquarters of both organisations are in Sintra, Grande Lisboa (PT1A0).
Fuel deliveries to municipal service stations across mainland Portugal will be managed by B2 Mobility GmbH, a German company with its headquarters located in Bochum. With a focus on digitalised fuel management and sustainability-focused solutions, the company is a significant player in the European fuel card systems, logistics, and energy supply infrastructure markets..

In order to sustain vital public and environmental services, Sintra, one of the biggest municipalities in the nation, needs a reliable and affordable fuel supply for its fleet and operations, which the agreement provides.
This award strengthens B2 Mobility GmbH's strategic growth in the Iberian market and solidifies its position in the Portuguese public procurement system. The agreement also emphasises Portugal and Germany's cross-border collaboration in supply chains linked to energy.
