UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Livv Housing Group intends to appoint a provider of fuel cards for use in purchasing diesel, petrol and electric vehicle charging. The requirement combines fuel-card provision with access to fuel and charging services, for the group’s operations across the United Kingdom. This is a planned procurement for goods, rather than a current invitation to tender. Livv Housing Group is seeking input from interested contractors through an optional preliminary market-engagement exercise to help shape the final tender. Suppliers can provide basic details of their organisation and offer, including their geographical coverage, through an online questionnaire. The future formal tender is expected to be issued separately.

The process is at planning stage: Livv Housing Group has announced its intention to procure, but has not yet invited bids. It expects the contract to run from 2 February 2027 to 1 February 2030. The requirement is marked as above the applicable threshold, but no contract value or budget is stated. The buyer is conducting voluntary preliminary market engagement, with questionnaire responses expected by 17:00 on 16 October 2026; participation is not a pre-qualification stage, does not affect eligibility to bid and confers no advantage in the later procurement. The buyer says a formal tender will follow separately. The procurement is planned as one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No procedure, award method or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage.

This will suit fuel-card providers able to supply cards covering diesel and petrol purchases as well as electric-vehicle charging, with geographical coverage across the United Kingdom. The buyer is seeking basic information about suppliers’ offerings and service coverage during its market-engagement exercise, so providers with a clear account of where and how their cards can be used can help inform the tender’s design. The single-lot structure may be relevant to smaller suppliers as well as larger providers. The buyer has not yet set out technical standards, accreditations, minimum capacity or experience requirements, so suppliers should avoid assuming these are settled. Engagement is optional and is not a qualification stage or a route to preferential treatment; the formal competition is intended to follow separately. This is an opportunity to prepare, not to submit a bid now.
