Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service is currently planning a procurement process for the "Fuel Card and Associated Services" tender, intended to streamline the UK's public sector purchase of road fuels and related services. This initiative, tagged under the goods category, involves an impressive estimated gross value of £1.8 billion. Based in Liverpool, at The Capital, Old Hall Street, this central government authority is overseeing this opportunity. While the procurement stage is in the planning update phase, significant key dates include the publication of the pipeline notice on 11 August 2025, a future communication notice date of 15 October 2025, and a planned contract period from 21 January 2026 to 20 January 2030 under lot 1. Notably, the process includes a framework agreement approach, offering an efficient procurement method aligned with UK legislation (2023/54).

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the fuel card and associated services sector, particularly those equipped to manage agency fuel cards and related services such as oils and lubricants. The planned framework agreement structure could offer a stable and long-term business growth avenue for companies that can provide competitive services consistent with public sector demands. Enterprises with experience in central government contract delivery or those looking to expand their portfolio in the public procurement market will find this an excellent prospect to enhance their market presence and operational scale. Businesses ready to align with the Crown Commercial Service's requirements, including those adept at technological implementations for efficient service delivery, are well-suited to engage with this tender.
