A new accredited panel of motor vehicle manufacturers has been implemented which is designed to allow flexibility and adaptability to a dynamic and ever changing market place. Capped pricing and a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process are features of the panel. The Government sector can now take advantage of the huge savings achieved through the new committed volume RFQ process for motor vehicle acquisition introduced by NSW Procurement. Committed volume provides the opportunity for a reduced capital cost. It is anticipated that the RFQ process will be opened up to other eligible buyers in the January / February RFQ process. Enquiries can be made by email to Barry Crocker: Barry.Crocker@commerce.nsw.gov.au For StateFleet customers ordering: www.statefleet.ogp.commerce.nsw.gov.au or phone (02) 93727711. Alternatively, contact the Client Support Centre: 1800 NSW BUY (1800 679 289) |

E10 is becoming available at more pumps every month, with Government –contracted fuel providers now increasing their supply. Currently there are around 300 Mobil, Caltex and United service stations where you can fill up with E10.
