two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The council is inviting suitably qualified and experienced Bidders to submit bids for the supply, installation and maintenance of a new Fuel Management System (FMS).
In addition to the above the successful Bidder will be required to carry out a scheduled maintenance programme and any adhoc repairs, as needs arise, on the existing fuel supply hardware and ancillary equipment to ensure ongoing supply of fuel to the fleet.
The contract is expected to run for 2 years with optional two periods of up to 12 months each.
The council has eighteen bunkered fuel sites which dispense circa. 5.5 million litres of fuel per year to 2,500 authorised vehicles and drivers 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
The council currently has two suppliers that provide a modem based fuel management system that monitors fuel levels, deliveries and details transactions of Diesel, Gasoil and Adblue. The current systems are time expired, in need of upgrade and do not currently encompass all fuel locations.
The council requires these systems to be replaced with a single modern, 3 or 4G FMS, which will encompass the entire fuel estate. Thus allowing the monitoring of all fuel activity, including all current fuel types and with the ability to monitor alternative fuels such as Compressed Gas Hydrogen and Electricity.
Currently, identification fobs are used to allow access to the fuel system. The new system must offer similar or improved secure access systems, such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) or Can BUS readers, to identify vehicles and authorised users prior to fuel dispensation and allow for smart fleet data capture in identifying vehicles, drivers and collecting vehicle odometer data.
The council requires to appoint one supplier to provide all element of this contract to include supply, installation and maintenance of new fuel management system and existing fuel infrastructure maintenance for the council’s eighteen fuel sites. As these requirements may come from two specialist areas, the council will allow organisations to working in partnership, with one organisation taking the lead.

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
Glasgow City Council (“the Council”) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates concerned of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.
