- Description
- Cadent is looking to the market for Fuel Card and Charge Card Solutions. Interest would be shown in identifying suppliers who are able to offer a unified approach to the two card types either through partnerships or ownership. Outlined requirements per type as shown below: FUEL CARDS Cadent wishes to partner with single or multiple providers of fuel card solutions offering nationwide access to forecourts. The ideal suppliers should have partnerships with supermajor fuel providers (e.g. Shell and BP) and supermarket chains (e.g. Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons) across the UK. This will give our drivers greater geographical coverage for refuelling of HGV and commercial vehicles whilst on the road. Access to a wide variety of products and fuel types for use in our commercial vehicles, including engine oils, AdBlue and lubricants is also a requirement of the fuel cards. CHARGE CARDS In addition, we would require prospective suppliers to offer charge card solutions for the growing networks of electric vehicle charging, biofuels and hydrogen systems - National coverage would be required for these networks. In addition to the above, robust management information will be required in a timely and accurate manner, both on card allocation and usage, to help inform business decisions and effective business management, as well as effective and proactive ongoing account management. Given the fast-moving changes in the market we reserve the right in the contract period to be able to work with winning supplier(s) to leverage new innovations in the marketplace where there is benefit in doing so. We may also arrange meetings on Monday 12th October to gain a better understanding of the services and capabilities you can provide. Please could you provide responses to the questions below: Request for Information Can you provide both fuel cards (with options for adblue, other lubricants & oils) and charge cards? Yes ☐ No ☐ If you can only provide 1 card, which card can you provide? Do you offer full UK coverage with your services? Yes ☐ No ☐ How many fuel card users and EV charging users do you currently support in the UK? Do you provide services directly or through third-party partners? Please provide details. Please identify all fuel networks available through your solution. Shell ☐ BP ☐ Esso ☐ Texaco ☐ Gulf ☐ MFG ☐ Other (Please specify): Supermarkets ☐ Can HGV accessible sites be identified? Yes ☐ No ☐ Do you provide a driver app, if yes what does the app include? Yes ☐ No ☐ Do you provide fraud monitoring and alerts? Yes ☐ No ☐ EV Specific Does your solution offer shared depot charging? Yes ☐ No ☐ Can your charge card offer all charger types? Yes ☐ No ☐ Please detail the charging networks available through your solution. Do you provide home charging reimbursement solutions?
