Fuel Cards and Associated Services VII
Authority: Government Commercial Agency (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe agreement will provide the UK Public Sector with an easy and efficient method to pay for road fuels such as diesel and petrol and associated services such as oils & lubricants.
- Not divided into lots: The service requirement is to provide fuel cards that can be used within the UK. The Suppliers also work off providing coverage within the UK and even if we created Lots, we would have the same Suppliers in every Lot meaning that there wouldn’t be any additional value in it.
