Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council bought fuel cards for purchasing fuel for its council-owned and leased vehicles. The requirement combines fuel-card provision with vehicle refuelling services, supporting the council’s fleet. Delivery is for Rutland, England. This is a single-lot service requirement, awarded to one supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ALLSTAR BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The award was made on 1 September 2026 through a competitive selection under a framework. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 15 September 2028, with one 12-month extension available, potentially extending the period to 15 September 2029. The contract value is £240,000 excluding VAT (£288,000 including VAT). The process comprised one lot. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers competing when Rutland County Council next buys fuel-card services, this award shows demand for a provider able to support fuel purchasing for a fleet of council-owned and leased vehicles across Rutland. A credible competitor would need to offer fuel cards alongside practical access to vehicle refuelling services, and demonstrate the capacity to serve public-sector fleet requirements through a framework route. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that the contract was placed with an established provider, although the award does not state specific accreditations, technical standards or fleet-size requirements. Suppliers should assess whether their card network, service coverage and ability to administer fuel purchases can match this council fleet use case.
