UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust procured fuel card and associated management services for its operational fleet. The requirement covers supplying and administering fuel cards, processing transactions, providing access to discounted fuel pricing, including pump-minus discounts for diesel, and delivering reporting and account management. The service is intended to control fuel expenditure through controlled card use, consolidated invoicing and management information. The procurement falls within fuel and diesel supply, with diesel fuel classified under CPV 09134200. Delivery is for the Trust’s operational fleet in the East Lancashire area, with the supplier expected to provide coverage across the UK and North West. The buying organisation is East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Royal Blackburn Hospital in Blackburn.

This is an awarded and completed procurement conducted as a direct award under the CCS Fuel Cards and Associated Services Framework RM6367. All Star was selected as the supplier for the single lot, with the award recorded on 17 July 2026. The award value is £650,000 excluding VAT, or £780,000 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 31 July 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 31 July 2031. The award includes annual optional fuel-card supply extensions. The stated rationale was compliance, UK and North West coverage, and discounts linked to online payment and agreed payment terms. The tender status is complete.

This requirement is most relevant to fuel-card providers, fuel retailers and fleet-payment specialists able to supply and administer cards across the UK, with particularly strong North West coverage. Credible competitors would need access to a broad accepting-fuel-station network, reliable transaction processing and the ability to negotiate or deliver discounted diesel pricing. They would also need robust controls for card use, consolidated invoicing, expenditure monitoring, management information and responsive account management for an NHS operational fleet. Experience of public-sector or framework-based supply, compliance with framework terms and dependable service delivery at large-organisation scale would strengthen a future offer. The awarded model shows that the buyer values geographic coverage, payment arrangements and measurable fuel-cost savings alongside the underlying card service.
