The report sought approval to procure diesel and AdBlue for the council fleet through a competitive mini-competition using the CCS Framework. The proposed contract would run for three years, with a possible six-month extension, and is intended to secure dependable supply at the best available rates.

Recommendation

Approve procurement for the supply of diesel and AdBlue for three years plus a 0.5-year extension period, and grant delegated authority to the Executive Director for Economy, Environment and Culture to carry out the procurement and award the contract.

Financial impact

Annual diesel purchasing costs exceed £1 million. Estimated contract costs are expected to be contained within existing revenue budgets.
