For suppliers

Sell to buyers who have already decided to move

FuelBid runs competitive fuel events for South African buyers. If you are an oil company, licensed wholesaler, importer, terminal or depot operator, fuel-card provider or independent reseller, you can join the panel that gets invited to bid. We are actively short of coastal capacity and of empowered suppliers, so if that is you, we want to hear from you first.

Why bother

These are live, funded, decided buyers

By the time a buyer reaches an auction they have already agreed internally to change supplier. You are not prospecting. You are quoting on volume that is going to move, against a clear brief, with a decision date.

📋

One clear brief

Volumes, sites, grades and terms are set out the same way for everyone. No chasing the buyer for the information you need to price properly.

⚖️

Judged on one basis

Every bid is normalised to the same landed basis before ranking, so you are not beaten by someone quoting a different way. If you are cheapest, you win.

🔒

We take nothing from you

No listing fee, no commission, no success fee. We are paid by the buyer from what they save, which is why we can promise them we have no favourite.

Joining

What it takes

1

Tell us what you supply

Grades, regions you can reach, delivery or card network, and the volumes you are set up for.

2

Send your compliance pack

Company registration, licences, tax clearance, BEE certificate and insurance. Once, not for every event.

3

We match you to events

You are invited only where your footprint fits the buyer's sites. No noise.

4

You bid

In your own time for written offers, or live on the day for an auction. You see your rank, never anyone else's price.

We do not take a cent from suppliers.

That is the whole basis on which buyers trust the result, and it is not negotiable.

Worth knowing

An empowered supplier is worth more here than a bigger one

Almost every corporate and public-sector buyer we work with carries preferential procurement targets alongside its price targets. Most of them struggle to find a licensed fuel supplier that answers both. On a normalised, transparent basis a competitive empowered supplier does not need a concession to win, it just needs to be in the room. Getting you into the room is the whole job.

On the scorecard Your B-BBEE level, ownership and licence status go to the buyer with your bid, in the same pack as your price. It is not a separate conversation held afterwards.
On the same basis Every bid is normalised to one landed cost before ranking. Nobody is carried, and nobody is quietly discounted for being smaller.
Once, not every time Your compliance pack is verified once and reused across every event you are invited to, so a small team is not doing a new RFP pack every month.
