Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is buying UK agency fuel cards for use in the United Kingdom. The cards are intended to support agency fuel purchases; the contract also sets service expectations for customer support, utilisation reporting and issuing new or replacement cards. The requirement is a call-off from Crown Commercial Service’s RM6367 framework, with Crown Commercial Service managing the procurement for the Ministry of Defence. The procurement is for goods rather than fuel supply or vehicle operations. Delivery is stated as covering the United Kingdom, so suppliers need to support card use across the country. This is a single requirement, not split into separately described lots. The named product category is agency fuel cards (CPV 30163100).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Allstar Business Solutions Limited. The award was made on 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 September 2026. The awarded value is £760,833.33 excluding VAT (£913,000 including VAT); the signed contract records £760,833.33 excluding VAT (£931,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. The Ministry used a selective procedure to award a call-off under the RM6367 framework; the call-off was competitive. There is one lot, and the procurement was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No award criteria or further eligibility requirements are stated in the process details.

For suppliers considering comparable Ministry of Defence requirements, this award shows demand for a nationwide agency fuel-card service delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to provide cards that can be used across the UK and manage the supporting service reliably, including accessible buyer and customer support, accurate and timely utilisation reports, and prompt issue of new and replacement cards. These are explicit contract performance measures, so operational processes for reporting, customer service and card fulfilment are central capabilities. The competitive route was a call-off from the RM6367 framework, making framework access and the ability to compete within its call-off arrangements commercially relevant. The single-lot requirement indicates a supplier able to deliver the service across the country as one package, rather than only in a limited local area.
