Summary of the contracting process

Atlas BFW Management Limited is buying fleet fuel-card services for its vehicles. The requirement covers fuel purchases and additional services including oil, lubricants, screen wash and, where required, car washing. Cards must provide access to a wide range of refuelling stations, including Shell and partner networks, and may support electric-vehicle charging. A single-card solution is required, covering fuel, vehicle-related services and mobility products such as lubricants. The procurement is for services supporting Atlas’s fleet operations, delivered through the supplier’s station and service network. The relevant activities are vehicle-fleet-support services and agency fuel cards (CPV 50111110 and 30163100).

This procurement has reached the award stage. Atlas used a direct award under the Procurement Act 2023, relying on provisions for additional or repeat requirements and a call-off from the GCA Framework RM6367 Fuel cards. The stated rationale is the need for continuity with existing provisions, avoiding incompatibility, operational disruption and significant inconvenience. One completed lot was awarded to SHELL U.K. OIL PRODUCTS LIMITED. The award value is £300,000 excluding VAT and £360,000 including VAT. The award date is 24 August 2026. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with renewal described as 1+1 and a maximum extent date of 31 August 2031. A signature milestone is scheduled for 1 September 2026.

This procurement shows demand from Atlas for integrated fleet fuel-card provision rather than fuel-only purchasing. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement next returns would need a broad Shell or partner refuelling network, fuel-card administration and reliable support for fleet users. Capability to support electric-vehicle charging would strengthen a future offer, alongside arrangements for oil, lubricants, screen wash, car washing and other mobility products through one card solution. Credibility would also depend on maintaining operational continuity and integrating with existing technical architectures, since these were central reasons for the direct award. Experience with the GCA Framework RM6367 Fuel cards and the compliance needed for framework call-offs would be relevant.

Notice Information

Notice Title

BFWML - Facilities - Fuel Cards - Shell UK

Notice Description

For the provision fuel cards for our fleets to be used for fuel and additional services (oil, lubricants, screen wash, car washing if required). Scope of work also entails: * Wide range of refueling stations (direct Shell and partner networks) * Use of cards for electric charging if required * Additional provisions: A one card solution is required to allow for car washing facilities and the purchase of mobility products such as lubricants.

Procurement Information

This direct award is made pursuant to Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, specifically relying on the provisions for additional or repeat goods, services, or works. Atlas previously procured baseline provisions that require continuity. Awarding this contract to an alternative supplier would result in material incompatibility and difficulties in operation and maintenance. Specifically, introducing a new provider would disrupt existing technical architectures, and trigger significant operational inconvenience for Atlas. Furthermore, call-off is executed in strict compliance with the core terms of the GCA Framework RM6367 Fuel cards, which explicitly permit direct award call-offs to Shell Uk for these specific requirements.
