Please provide the following information regarding the council’s bulk fuel purchases:
1. The types of bulk fuel purchased by the council (e.g. diesel, petrol, heating oil, etc.).
Oil, Diesel and liquid petroleum
2. The frequency and volume of these bulk fuel purchases over the past 12 months.
3. The price per litre paid for the most recent purchase of each fuel type.
In response to questions 2 and 3 we do not hold a central record of this information. To obtain this information would therefore require an individual review of each invoice which has been used. This would therefore take longer than the appropriate time limit of 18 hours and this information is therefore exempt from disclosure pursuant to section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
4. The name, job title, and contact details of the procurement lead or officer responsible for bulk fuel purchasing.
Individual sites will purchase their bulk fuel needs depending on what they require in terms of diesel, oil or liquid petroleum. Some sites have these requirements for heating purposes but many won’t as electricity and gas is sufficient for them) so there isn’t an overall officer in charge of bulk fuel
