The Cabinet Member for Finance, Growth and Investment introduced a report on proposals to procure a new two-year contract for the supply of automotive fuel and fuel oil as the current contract was due to expire on 11 August 2017.

Arising from the discussions, it was acknowledged that the Council should look to move away from using diesel-powered vehicles when new leasing and/or purchasing arrangements were being considered.

The Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Agree that the Council proceeds with the procurement of a contract for the provision of automotive fuel and fuel oil in accordance with the strategy set out in the report; and

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance, Growth and Investment and the Director of Law and Governance, to conduct the procurement and award the contract to the successful bidder in accordance with the strategy set out in the report.
