UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency, including His Majesty’s Coastguard, procured fuel cards and associated services for operational and business-critical vehicles throughout Great Britain. The solution enables drivers to obtain fuel at forecourts and, where applicable, purchase electricity for electric and hybrid vehicles. This is primarily a commercial fuel-card and fleet-payment service, with an associated requirement for secure transaction management and support. The buying organisation is a central government public authority based in Southampton. The requirement covers the agency’s vehicle activity across Great Britain rather than a single delivery site. It is relevant to fuel-card providers, fleet payment specialists, fuel-network operators and suppliers able to support both conventional fuel purchasing and electric or hybrid vehicle charging.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive selection under a framework agreement. There was one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Allstar Business Solutions Limited on 7 August 2026 and signed on 20 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 August 2030. Its value is £2.5 million excluding VAT and £3 million including VAT. The award was above the applicable threshold. Evaluation took place through the framework’s competitive award process; the published information identifies the requirement as agency fuel cards. The selected supplier is responsible for the fuel-card and associated services requirement, including provision for fuel and, where applicable, electricity purchases for electric and hybrid vehicles.

This procurement shows sustained public-sector demand for a secure, nationwide fleet payment service covering both petrol or diesel fuelling and electric vehicle charging. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to a broad forecourt network across Great Britain, with electric charging coverage capable of supporting the stated 95% network-coverage performance measure. Operational capability would also include issuing and replacing cards promptly, blocking lost, stolen or compromised cards, and responding to fraud incidents. Suppliers would need robust management information, accurate supporting transaction data, consolidated invoicing and the capacity to answer ad-hoc information requests within agreed timescales. The buyer’s performance measures indicate that service reliability, data accuracy, timely administration, security and growing electric-vehicle capability are central to this requirement.
