UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council procured managed fuel-card services for its vehicle and operational fuel needs. The requirement covers the purchase of petrol and diesel, access to fuel stations across UK fuel networks, online account and transaction management, consolidated VAT invoicing, and ongoing supplier support. This is a goods procurement focused on fuels and the associated card-management service. Delivery is for the Isle of Wight Council in the Isle of Wight, with access to a wider UK network required for vehicles travelling beyond the island. The council is based in Newport and is the public-sector buyer. Suppliers relevant to this requirement include fuel-card operators, fuel-network providers and businesses able to combine nationwide acceptance with online controls, consolidated billing and responsive account support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Allstar Business Solutions Limited following a competitive selection under a framework agreement. The council used a selective procedure and carried out a desktop evaluation of potential framework suppliers. The award was made on 24 July 2026, with a gross value of £600,000 including VAT (£500,000 excluding VAT). One lot covered the complete fuel-card requirement. The contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2030. The successful supplier is Allstar Business Solutions Limited. Evaluation took place through the framework route and the award was competitive, rather than a direct non-competitive appointment. The arrangement is above the relevant procurement threshold and covers the full stated requirement rather than separate service packages.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the award demonstrates a requirement for a mature fuel-card operation rather than fuel supply alone. A credible competitor would need access to a broad UK petrol and diesel network, including practical coverage for Isle of Wight operations and journeys on the mainland. It would also need reliable card controls, online management tools, accurate transaction data, consolidated VAT invoicing and ongoing customer support. The procurement indicates that the council is willing to source this requirement through a framework and compare potential suppliers by desktop evaluation. Relevant capability therefore includes established network relationships, secure and scalable account administration, dependable billing processes and the operational capacity to support a public-sector fleet over a multi-year arrangement. Experience serving councils or other fleet customers would help demonstrate delivery at the required scale.
