Lubricating oils, greases and anti-freeze

This ESPO framework provides supply and delivery of a comprehensive range of lubricating oils (including engine, transmission, agricultural, hydraulic and compressor), greases, antifreeze and related ancillary items, across the whole of the UK. The suppliers on this framework have been selected for their experience and ability to provide a wide range of products that combine both quality and value.

The framework has primarily been designed to meet the requirements of municipal fleets. Customers are advised that they will be required to open an account with the approved supplier, prior to placing orders.

The framework is available for use nationally by any public sector body in the UK including, but not limited to…
local authorities,

• Educational establishments (including academies),
• Central government departments and agencies,
• Police, fire and rescue and coastguard emergency services,
• NHS and HSC Bodies, including ambulance services,
• Registered charities,
• Registered social landlords; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament.

• It’s FREE - You will not be charged for using this framework.
• Quick & easy to use - This framework has been established via an EU/UK compliant tendering process so it removes the need for you to run a full EU/UK compliant tendering process and it reduces the timescales to put your provisions in place.
• Pre-vetted suppliers with ongoing monitoring - Suppliers listed on the framework were assessed during ESPO’s procurement process for their financial stability, track record, experience and technical & professional ability.
• Not Ranked - The suppliers are not ranked and therefore you have the freedom to approach the supplier of your choice without having to go through any sequential order.
• Direct Award - You can place a direct call off order with any supplier on the framework based on the terms outlined in the User Guide and Price Schedule.
• Further Competition - Customers can undertake a further competition amongst the suppliers on the framework and can vary the weightings of the evaluation criteria to suit their requirements – even appointing suppliers only by evaluating price.
• Pre-agreed conditions - No need to worry about what terms & conditions to use. Each order that is put through the framework is underpinned by a call-off contract that has been pre-agreed at tender stage.

• Fuchs Lubricants UK PLC
• Morris Lubricants Ltd
• Rock Oil
