There are 10 diesel fuel bunkers located around West Sussex that provide the Council with resilience at a time of national shortage and/or extreme weather.
In 2017, working with Blue Light organisations under Surrey and Sussex Emergency Services Collaboration Programme, the Council was able to aggregate its diesel fuel requirement with the wider group and procure a ‘purchase and delivery’ solution across the Surrey and Sussex area. Each organisation entered into their own contract with the winning supplier.
The contract for this arrangement is due to expire in September 2019 and a replacement contract will need to be procured. It is anticipated that the collaborative group will once again aggregate their requirements to continue to maximise buying power across the area.
Anticipated annual spend for the Council is £250,000 p.a. The proposed contract length is 30 months.
