Purpose-built for how jet fuel is actually bought and sold.

Generic RFx tools weren't designed for fuel procurement. Jet Fuel Tenders is—built around index-based pricing, multi-round negotiation, and the realities of global fuel tenders.

Multi-round tender orchestration

Run structured tenders across multiple locations with full control over each stage - from draft to award.

  • Manage draft, active, review, and award stages in one workflow
  • Run multi-round tenders with extensions and supplier-level control
  • Up to 30 locations per tender on Pro; no limit on Enterprise

Index-based pricing

Every bid is built on real market data—so pricing is transparent, comparable, and grounded in the market.

  • S&P Global Energy and Argus prices loaded (your own subscription)
  • Suppliers bid index-plus-differential
  • Airlines see each bid as an all-in total in their currency and unit

High-volume bid submission

Respond to multi-location tenders in one format.

  • Submit all locations by web form or one Excel upload
  • Duplicate rows flagged on Excel import
  • Track progress and updates across every tender

Multi-currency, multi-unit bidding

Each bid in your currency and unit, with the cost of payment terms.

  • Bids converted to your currency and unit
  • 184 currencies and 9 volume units, including USG, litres and metric tons
  • Consistent comparisons across volume and pricing structures
Both sides

SAF in Every Bid

Suppliers enter SAF prices, blend and volume in the same bid.

  • Mandated and voluntary SAF priced in each bid
  • SAF blend and volume captured per bid
  • SAF alongside conventional fuel in one tender
Both sides

API and exports

Get tender data out in standard formats—no retyping.

  • An API for integrations with your in-house systems

How it works

From launch to award - no email, no spreadsheets.

  1. 1

    Launch the tender

    Define locations, volumes, fuel types, and terms. Invite suppliers from your supplier list, attach specifications, and share all requirements in one place.

  2. 2

    Suppliers submit bids

    Suppliers respond directly in the platform or across multiple locations in a single submission—using saved bid and supply-condition templates.

  3. 3

    Benchmark every bid

    All bids in one currency and unit, with fees, taxes and payment terms in the total, then compared with S&P Global Energy and Argus index prices and your current contracts.

  4. 4

    Clarify and negotiate

    Chat with each supplier in the tender, and run additional bidding rounds—all within the platform, without fragmented email threads.

  5. 5

    Award with confidence

    Move from tentative to final award with full visibility, internal notes for your team only, and a complete audit trail—ready for finance, legal, and reporting.

  • Role-based access control

    Each user sees and does only what their role allows.

  • Activity history

    Bid changes are logged with user and time.

  • Protected and backed up

    Encrypted in transit and at rest. Protected network edge. Regular encrypted off-site backups.

How Bids Look to the Airline

Bids Converted, Ranked and Benchmarked.

As bids come in, every offer is converted into your currency and unit and priced in one total, then benchmarked against S&P Global Energy prices for side-by-side comparison. No spreadsheets to consolidate, no manual analysis required before award.

  • Real-time tenders: each bid shows as soon as it is submitted, ranked on total price
  • Clear status for draft, submitted, and withdrawn bids
  • Drill into each bid with full pricing, payment terms, and cost-of-capital impact
