Decision details

Procurement exercise for Fuel Cards 2023 - 2028

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To seek approval for the provision of fuel cards for the supply of fuel for NY Council vehicles

Decision:

Approval to proceed with the procurement to directly award a contract for the provision of Fuel Cards to Allstar Business Solutions Ltd via the Fuel Cards and associated Services Framework Agreement.

Reasons for the decision:

Allstar is the only supplier on Framework (RM6186) that has coverage over the full geographical area of the Council's road network.
To supplement the bunkered fuel provision to reduce distance travelled to obtain fuel.

Alternative options considered:

Due to the vast geographical area of North Yorkshire it is not practicable from an operational point of view for all vehicles to refill at the Councils bunkered fuel sites.
Employees are encouraged to look for alternative means of travel such as public transport, pool cars or by means of electronic meetings but the need for corporate fleet cannot be removed.
