Wex has been named as a supplier on the Crown Commercial Service framework for the first time ever, expanding its offering to UK public sector businesses.

Wex’s Esso Card is now available to the public sector organisations that fall under the RM6186 (Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI) framework

It means Wex’s Esso Card – which enables payment for fuel at Esso, Shell and BP-branded service stations – is now available to the public sector organisations that fall under the RM6186 (Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI) framework.  

Wex also offers a supplementary card that provides extra access to more fuel stations including Texaco and Jet as well as supermarket fuel stations, such as Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsburys.   

The combined Wex offering provides access to more than 6,300 branded fuel stations across the UK, covering 75% of the petrol stations in the UK.  

Eamonn Tierney, managing director of Wex in Europe, said its inclusion on the framework was a significant moment for the business and integral to its growth strategy.   

“Bringing this offering to the public sector will place Wex alongside some of the biggest businesses in the UK, to bring a best-in-industry offering to people within national and local government and the nation’s critical emergency services. They can expect a lot from us moving forward.”  

Aaron Townson, business development manager at Wex, who worked on its application to be named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI framework, added: “We are looking forward to cementing our public sector expertise from across Europe adjacent to our private sector fuel services where we have managed some of the largest fleet organisations in Europe, from the UK.  

“We offer a highly competitive product – one that meets the needs of UK organisations. Our aim is to simplify the process of running a business and there are a great many exciting developments on the horizon.”
