Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured fuel cards and associated items for use across England, the Midlands, East of England, London and the South East. The requirement covers agency fuel cards, enabling the organisation and its users to purchase fuel through a card-based arrangement. This is a goods procurement, with the scope also allowing additional fuel-card requirements that emerge during the arrangement. The buyer is Orbit Group Limited, a sub-central public authority based in Coventry. The requirement was arranged through an existing framework and covered a single procurement lot. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include fuel-card providers, fleet-fuelling operators and suppliers able to support card accounts and associated services across multiple English regions.

The procurement was completed through a selective procedure as an award under a framework, without a competitive call-off. Thomas Silvey, Limited was awarded the contract on 30 April 2026 for £240,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). The contract period was 15 June 2026 to 14 June 2030, with provision for additional requirements within the same scope. A future signature milestone was scheduled for 14 May 2026. The award was active, but the associated contract was subsequently cancelled, reaching cancelled status on 31 July 2026. The procurement had one completed lot. The award was not the result of a competitive call-off, and no separate evaluation weighting or eligibility requirements are stated.

This procurement demonstrates a substantial, multi-region requirement for fuel cards serving a large public-service organisation over a multi-year period. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable work with Orbit Group would need to provide agency fuel cards and manage additional card requirements within the same service scope. Credibility would depend on the operational capacity to support users across several English regions, maintain reliable card-account and fuel-payment services, and handle growth in demand during the arrangement. Experience delivering fleet-fuelling or fuel-card programmes at public-sector scale would be relevant. Suppliers should also understand how to access and operate through framework arrangements, since this requirement was awarded under a framework rather than through an open competitive call-off.
