Procurement details for strategic diesel stocks
The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has launched a procurement for 1.67 million litres of diesel to expand strategic fuel stocks at the Blažuj petroleum terminal near Sarajevo. The contract is valued at approximately €2.7 million, excluding value-added tax. The procurement will be carried out through an open procedure, followed by an electronic auction. Price will serve as the main award criterion.
Logistics, delivery timeline and rail capacity
Diesel deliveries will be made by rail to Blažuj. The terminal can receive up to six tanker wagons per day. After providing the required performance guarantee, the selected supplier will have 30 working days to complete delivery. Each shipment must be announced at least 24 hours in advance and accompanied by documentation confirming its origin, quality and producing refinery.
Fuel specifications and terminal measurement rules
The diesel must comply with the BAS EN 590+A1:2018 Class F standard. Terminal metering equipment will determine accepted volumes using temperature-compensated measurements or another method permitted under the Federation’s metrology rules.
Strategic stock objective and tender deadline
The tender is intended to increase emergency petroleum reserves and strengthen supply security in the Federation. The move follows reassessments of strategic stocks by fuel-importing economies across Southeast Europe amid volatile international prices, shipping disruption and geopolitical risk. Offers are due by November 2, 2026.
