fuel supply
Harrow Council recently extended its fuel card contract due to volatile market conditions and rising prices.
Harrow Council's Cabinet approved a two-year extension to its fuel card services contract in July 2026, running from May 2027 to April 2029. This decision, which included an approximate 10% uplift to the contract value, was made to reflect current market conditions and ensure financial viability amidst volatile fuel prices, according to Councillor Pritesh Patel.
The extension, valued at around £628,000, was deemed necessary by Councillor Pritesh Patel due to ongoing instability in the Middle East, which is continuing to put upward pressure on prices. This ensures the council's fuel supply arrangements are secured for the coming years.
