Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council procured fuel cards for its vehicle fleet, covering the supply of fuel-card services for council fleet operations. The requirement falls within the energy and fuel supply market, including petroleum products and related energy sources (CPV 09000000). Delivery and use are associated with the Isle of Wight, for the council’s fleet. The buying organisation is Isle of Wight Council, a local authority based in Newport. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or professional-services contract. The requirement is relevant to fuel-card providers, fuel-network operators and businesses able to manage card-based fleet fuel purchasing for a public-sector fleet. The selected supplier, All Star Business Solutions, is based in Swindon.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Isle of Wight Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, following a desktop evaluation of potential suppliers through a framework; the notice refers to Crown Commercial Services framework RM6367. The award was made to All Star Business Solutions, with one bid recorded and no SME bids. Evaluation information records price as the basis, with a weighting of 100. The contract was signed on 14 May 2025 and is valued at £226,044. The contract started on 11 May 2024 and ceased on 7 August 2026. The award is recorded as active and the contract as active, although the tender lot itself is recorded as cancelled. The procurement rationale cites supply by a particular operator for technical reasons.

This procurement demonstrates established council demand for fuel-card provision supporting a local-authority vehicle fleet. Businesses considering similar work for Isle of Wight Council would need to provide reliable fuel cards and the supporting operational service required to manage fleet fuel purchasing across the Isle of Wight. The route used here indicates that access to, or suitability for, a relevant Crown Commercial Services framework can be commercially important, alongside the ability to pass a desktop comparison of potential suppliers. The sole recorded bid and the absence of SME bids suggest that suppliers should be prepared to operate at a scale suited to a council fleet and to present a clear, competitive pricing model. Credibility would depend on dependable service delivery, fleet-fuel expertise and the capacity to support a public-sector customer.
