## Summary

The Southend City Council is seeking to continue its fuel card service contract for purchasing approximately 55,000 litres of ULSD diesel annually. The procurement process involves an open procedure with the tender period ending on February 8, 2024. The contract period is set to start on August 1, 2024, and end on July 31, 2027. The main procurement category is services, and the Council aims to reduce environmental impact by increasing fuel outlet coverage.

This tender opportunity for the provision of fuel card services by the Southend City Council is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) interested in supplying petroleum products and energy sources. Businesses willing to operate in Southend-on-Sea and offer services related to fuel provision are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. The Council has emphasised the importance of reducing carbon footprint through increased access to retail fuel outlets, creating opportunities for environmentally conscious businesses to contribute to sustainable practices.

## Notice

Southend-on-Sea City Council (the "Council") currently has a fuel card service contract in place to purchase approximately 55,000 litres of ULSD diesel per annum for its current fleet of 82 vehicles. The current fuel card solution provider processes approximately 1,084 transactions per annum. The Council is looking to continue with a fuel card solution to allow its fleet to purchase fuel at a variety of retail fuel outlets across Southend-on-Sea. The more retail outlets that the fuel card service covers, then the less distance needs to be driven to get to a fuel outlet. The corresponding reduction of fuelling journeys will reduce wear and the impact on the environment thus lowering the overall carbon footprint. Interested parties are required to register via the Council's etendering portal: https://procontract.due-north.com/ to view and respond to tender opportunity. All requests for further information must also be sent via the Council's etendering portal.
