Tender description

The Ministry of Defence is undertaking market engagement to inform the potential procurement of European Agency Fuel Card services. The requirement may include access to roadside fuels, vehicle additives and electric vehicle charging across Europe, supported by appropriate card management services, billing, reporting and control arrangements. A Request for Information (RFI) is an early market engagement tool used by a buyer to gather information from potential suppliers before launching a formal procurement exercise. It allows an organisation to: 1. Understand market capabilities and available solutions. 2. Test assumptions about requirements. 3. Identify potential risks, constraints, or innovations. 4. Inform commercial strategy and procurement planning. 5. Assess whether a requirement is viable before tendering. Importantly, an RFI is not a competition, not a pre-qualification exercise, and does not commit either party to a future contract. Information provided by suppliers is used solely to help shape future procurement activity and improve decision-making.

About the buyer

The Ministry of Defence is a ministerial department that runs its acquisition and procurement activity through a dedicated commercial function, led by the Director Commercial. Defence Equipment & Support buys, supports and supplies equipment such as jets, warships and armoured vehicles for the armed forces. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation plans, builds and maintains the defence estate separately from equipment procurement. Suppliers can register on the Defence Sourcing Portal, the department's end-to-end eProcurement system for contract opportunities. Many purchasing agreements sit on the MOD Framework Library, its central list of framework routes to market.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Ministry of Defence's contract awards have been in IT services, architectural and engineering services and repair and maintenance.
