Fuel Supply Contract for the Ministry of Innovation and Growth

This contract involves the supply of automotive fuel through cashless payment cards for the needs of the Ministry of Innovation and Growth. The procurement is not divided into separate lots due to the nature of the delivery, as it includes various types of fuel that must be obtained from a single supplier (operator from the respective gas station). Engaging different contractors for different types of fuel would complicate execution, which would be impractical. Additionally, dividing the contract into separate lots based on territorial principles would also lead to difficulties in execution, as fuel deliveries are necessary for site visits to beneficiaries located throughout the country. It is important to consider Recital 78 of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and Council dated February 26, 2014, on public procurement, which allows the contracting authority to assess the appropriateness of dividing contracts into separate lots.
