UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured UK agency fuel cards for use across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers the provision of fuel cards, classified as agency fuel cards (CPV 30163100), for Ministry of Defence operations. Crown Commercial Services managed the procurement process on the Ministry’s behalf. The goods are intended for nationwide delivery and use rather than a single named site. The procurement was structured as one lot and is recorded as complete. It is a goods requirement, relevant to fuel-card providers, fleet-fuel payment businesses and suppliers able to support public-sector vehicle operations across the UK.

This completed procurement used a competitive selective procedure, with the contract awarded under the RM6367 framework. Allstar Business Solutions Limited was selected as supplier on 17 August 2026. The award is for £760,833.33 excluding VAT and £913,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. The standstill period ends on 3 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 4 September 2026. The original estimated value was £938,000 excluding VAT and £1,125,600 including VAT. The procurement was above threshold, and the lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted competitively through the framework call-off.

This award demonstrates established Ministry of Defence demand for UK-wide agency fuel cards at a substantial public-sector scale. Suppliers considering the requirement when it next returns to market would need to provide dependable fuel-card services for nationwide vehicle use, supported by the operational capacity to administer accounts, process fuel transactions and serve a central-government customer. Experience of delivering fleet-fuel payment solutions and maintaining reliable coverage across the United Kingdom would strengthen credibility. The route to market is also important: a future competitor would need to understand and qualify for the relevant Crown Commercial Services framework or another procurement route specified at the time. The single-lot structure indicates that the buyer sought one supplier capable of supporting the full UK requirement.
