Other Information

This was in line with PCR 2015 running a further competition fairly and equally between suppliers giving them all the same chance to bid and used and weighted scoring criteria to assess their pricing responses. After this evaluation, we concluded that Watsons Fuels were the winning bidder and the contract was awarded to them. There is zero committed spend against this call-off order. The estimated maximum total annual value is £190,594.00. However, this is based on a full year using on site tanks. For the avoidance of doubt tanks are to be used as a contingency only in the event of interruption to forecourt fuel supplies it is therefore likely that annualised spend will be significantly lower than the above estimate (Likely zero). Post Office have clearly communicated to the Supplier that we do not guarantee any maximum or minimum quantities against the proposed call-off order.
