The Cabinet Member for Public Realm and Climate Change presented a report on the retendering of the contract for the provision of liquid fuel to serve the Council’s transport fleet.

The Cabinet Member advised that the previous contract had expired on 31 March 2022 and a new short-term contract had been entered into to ensure a continuity of service.  The assessment of options for a new, four-year contract had identified the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Liquid Fuels Framework as the preferred approach due to economies of scale that could be achieved.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Agree that the Council proceeds with the procurement of contracts for the provision of liquid fuel and ancillary products through the CCS Liquid Fuels RM6177 framework agreement, in accordance with the strategy set out in the report; and

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Director of Public Realm, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Public Realm and Climate Change and the Chief Legal Officer, to conduct the procurement and award and enter into the contract(s) and any other ancillary agreements with the successful bidder(s).
