Other Information

Due to the nature of service/timetable fluctuations we require suppliers to able to deliver by bulk tankers with the ability to deliver weekdays, weekends and bank holidays if required. Fuel orders will be placed by First Bus Fleet Services, First Bus London, First Greater Western Railway and Ensignbus at intervals to be mutually agreed between the relevant Client and the supplier. The ability to either place or cancel orders at 24 to 48 hours' notice is required, however cancellations would be infrequent. Deliveries will be supervised by depot staff although unsupervised deliveries may take place. All delivery drivers need to undergo a site safety briefing and comply with local site safety requirements which may include the wearing of PPE such as safety footwear, hand / eye protection and approved high visibility clothing. The supplier is expected to provide an out of hour's on-call facility to be used in the event of delivery failures or other exceptional operating events. The supplier is also expected to nominate a day-to-day contact for management of the contract, attend supply review meetings periodically, and to report on agreed KPIs. Full estimated quantities by location is detailed within the PSQ. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** Additional CPV codes added
