What is being bought

Published requirement description

Fuel Finder Service. Government published the consultation on the design of Fuel Finder on 16 January 2024. www.gov.uk/government/consultat… ↗.

The Government response to the consultation was published on 30 October 2024 here; www.gov.uk/government/consultat… ↗

Through this procurement, we sought Supplier than could:

a. Build a Service for PFSs and Third Parties that increases transparency of fuel prices and availability of fuel for Consumers in near-real time so that Consumers can make informed choices on purchasing fuel.

b. Deliver a Service that can:

  • Register all UK retail PFSs (~8300).
  • Collect (through various input methods), aggregate and securely store Business Data from PFSs as prices and availability of fuel changes.
  • Share the Business Data with registered Third Parties (that wish to access the data) openly and freely in near-real time to deliver to Consumers.
  • Provide ongoing support to PFSs and Third Parties.
  • Provide a mechanism for Consumers to report inaccuracies in Business Data.
  • Resolve or escalate any reported or suspected non-compliance of PFSs to the CMA as ‘enforcer.’

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
Price: 100%
Published sub-criteria (1)
  • PQP = Total Price Total Work Packages (“P”) / Total Quality Score: 100%
Published award criteria (1)
  • PQP = Total Price Total Work Packages (“P”) / Total Quality Score: 100
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Fuel Finder Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
