| Buyer: | Ministry of Defence |
| Main Category: | Goods |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | This requirement falls within scope of the Procurement Act (PA) 2023. The Authority is satisfied that a Direct Award is justified under section 41 of PA23 with applicable grounds for direct award set out in Schedule 5, Paragraph 6, when, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required and there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. Market research conducted by the Authority strongly indicates an absence of competition, on the basis Circle K EESTI AS are the only supplier capable of providing access to a fuel network covering Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, via a single Fuel Card. This extensive coverage ensures personnel can access fuel and related products within an acceptable distance of operational locations, and whilst traveling between countries. Market research indiactes that alternative fuel providers are unable to provide fuel network coverage throughout the geographical locations identfied by the Authority. Relying on a supplier who cannot meet the requirement in full poses significant risk of running out of fuel, potentially placing Service Personnel in unsafe or operationally compromised situations. Further, a Request for Information (RFI) was sent to all RM6186 'Fuel Card and Associated Services' Framework suppliers to gauge interest and assess network coverage. This RFI returned nil responses, indicating a lack of capability and/or appetite to engage with the requirement. This supports an assessment that competition does not exist. |

The Authority has identified a need to procure fuel card provision for sixty white fleet vehicles in support of Operation CABRIT. Centralised management of Fuel Cards and associated services will provide a secure and cost-effective solution to meet operational demand for fuel and associated products. Given operational demands and personnel movements, fuel card provision must be serviced by a fuel station network covering Estonia, Latvia, Luthuania and Poland. Fuel card provision must include real-time fuel tracking, detailed transaction reporting and card usage controls. The proposed contract will have a 12-month duration with an estimated contract value of 520,000 EURO. Operational demand for fuel cards and associated services is currently met via an informal arrangement with Circle K. This supplier offers the most extensive coverage in the Joint Operations Area (JOA) including coverage in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. This arrangement must be replaced by a formal contract, ensuring no disruption to fuel provision.
