UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Together Housing Association Limited is preparing to procure a fuel card solution for use across the United Kingdom. The requirement is for agency fuel cards, supporting the purchase and management of vehicle fuel through a supplier-provided card service. The procurement is categorised as goods and is intended to establish a solution that supports the authority’s operational fuel needs and delivers public value over the longer term. The work is associated with a single requirement rather than multiple separately described service areas. Suppliers operating fuel card schemes, fuel payment solutions or related fuel management services should assess whether their coverage, technology and operating model can support delivery across the UK. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Halifax.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a pre-market engagement exercise before an Invitation to Tender under the Procurement Act 2023; it is not yet a tender to bid for. Interested suppliers are expected to request and complete a market engagement questionnaire by 28 August 2026 at 5pm, to help shape the procurement strategy. The buyer expects the resulting contract to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with a possible extension or renewal taking the maximum end date to 31 December 2031. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and covers one lot. The engagement will explore market capacity, innovation, commercial models and delivery approaches before the buyer settles the tender structure and evaluation arrangements.

This early engagement will suit established fuel card providers and businesses developing fuel payment or fleet-fuelling solutions that can demonstrate reliable delivery at UK scale. The buyer is specifically seeking evidence about available market capacity, innovative approaches, commercial models and practical delivery arrangements, so suppliers should be ready to explain how their solution would operate, be implemented and supported. Businesses with broad fuel-network access, secure transaction technology, effective account and usage controls, and experience serving housing associations or other public-sector fleets are likely to be well placed to contribute, where those capabilities form part of their offer. The exercise is also intended to encourage broad market participation, making it relevant to both established providers and credible innovative suppliers preparing for the later competition.
