UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured corporate fuel card services for its vehicle fleet. The requirement covers purchasing road diesel and petrol, and paying for electric vehicle charging at fuel stations. Coverage is primarily within Liverpool, with a smaller requirement for national coverage. The service therefore combines access to fuel and charging networks with the systems needed to process vehicle-related transactions. The procurement is classified as services and includes petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other energy sources, alongside transaction-processing software development services. It is a single requirement managed by Liverpool City Council for activity delivered mainly in Liverpool and, to a lesser extent, across the United Kingdom.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is complete. It used a selective procedure, with the contract awarded competitively under a framework. Shell U.K. Oil Products Limited was selected for the single lot. The award date was 27 July 2026, at £4,965,449.12 excluding VAT and £5,958,539.05 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option for one 12-month extension to 30 September 2030. A standstill period runs to 7 August 2026, and contract signature was scheduled for 10 August 2026. The award is above the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates recurring council demand for a managed fuel-card service supporting mixed vehicle fleets, including conventional fuels and electric charging. Competitors seeking similar work would need broad station-network coverage in Liverpool, credible national reach, and the operational capacity to support transactions across both fuel and charging services. They would also need robust transaction-processing technology, reliable card or account administration, accurate reporting and dependable customer support for a public-sector fleet. The requirement is suited to established fuel, mobility-payment or fleet-services providers, as well as technology businesses able to provide the transaction-processing element alongside appropriate network and service partnerships. Experience delivering integrated fuel and electric-vehicle charging services would strengthen credibility.
