Fuel Cards and Associated Services VII
Summary
This closed framework let under the 2023 Procurement Act. It allows all public sector organisations to buy vehicle fuel using a fuel card at service stations in the UK and Europe.
Description
You can use a fuel card to pay for the fuel and related services when travelling for official business. Show your card when you buy fuel or services.
Every month you will get a report that shows all the transactions made with your fuel card. This report can help you:
- track how much money you spend on fuel
- reduce time spent on administration tasks
You do not need to have a large fleet to use this agreement. You can assign fuel cards to vehicles or drivers. This means your employees will not need to claim fuel expenses.
You can also get carbon emissions reports to support your carbon reduction plans.
This agreement will run for 4 years, with the option to extend for 1 more year.
Benefits
- lower fees and charges than standard market prices
- fuel savings: pence per litre off pump price
- no minimum fleet size needed
- suppliers can help map your regular driving routes to find the best prices or discounts
- helps fleet managers track and control fuel costs
- option to buy fuel in bulk and store it in a designated site(s)
