The brief

Construction & Procurement Delivery (CPD), part of the Department of Finance (DoF), provides expert advice and professional project management and procurement services to government departments, agencies and arms-length bodies within Northern Ireland.

The Department of Finance (DoF), Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD), are reviewing the collaborative arrangement for the provision of fuel cards.

A current contract is in place and is due to expire on 31 May 2026, with one option to extend for one year.

Two suppliers are being utilised in order to provide the level of coverage required across Northern Ireland.

Details regarding current participants can be found at: https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/articles/provision-fuel-cards.

There is currently a diverse fleet of vehicles in operation to support the delivery of public services across departments, agencies, and arms’ length bodies.

These vehicles are used for a wide range of operational activities, service delivery, transport of goods and official travel.

To support efficient fleet management and ensure continuity of service, there is an ongoing requirement for a reliable and cost-effective method of procuring fuel.

The current arrangement was put in place using a Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Framework (https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6186) which is due to expire 21 February 2026.

CPD is exploring future options for the provision of fuel cards that aligns with organisational priorities, including value for money, environmental responsibility, and operational resilience.
