The Cabinet Member advised that unit fuel prices were highly sensitive to fluctuations in global oil markets, irrespective of Council decisions, and that, in light of current international factors, officers had been tasked to be extra vigilant in monitoring demand and prices.   Alternative options considered and rejected   Cabinet considered alternative procurement options as set out in the confidential report, but these were discounted on viability and resourcing grounds.   Relevant Select Committee Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Expiry date for any scrutiny call-in / date decision can be implemented (if no call-in) Cabinet’s decisions on this matter can be called in by a majority of the select committee by 5pm, Friday 27 March 2026.

Officer(s) to action Steve Gunter Directorate Corporate Services Classification Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
