## Summary

The University Of Edinburgh has recently awarded a contract for "Fuel Cards and Associated Services" to Allstar Business Solutions Ltd. The procurement process was initiated through a tender, with a focus on the education sector. The contract, valued at £280,000 GBP, was signed on 1st July 2024. The University's central purchasing body managed the procurement, which was completed through an open procedure. The contract enables staff to pay for fuel and related services for official business purposes, with specific requirements outlined for easy card ordering, online management, and reporting.

This contract presents business growth opportunities for companies providing fuel card and related services, especially those equipped to serve large-scale organisations.
