Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The Bluelight Commercial (BLC) have tendered
the contract by running a mini competition from the CCS framework
ref; RM6186 Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI. The contract has
been awarded to the highest scoring bidder.
The aggregated spend on the BLC call-off offers greater chance of
savings versus recompeting this as an individual force.
The Deputy Mayor approves the award of a 2
year contract for Fuel Cards, to Allstar, with the option to extend
for a further 3 years. The likely value of 5 years spend would be
circa £5m.
