Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the supply of Ad Blue to its various sites, including highway depots and fleet workshops across Lancashire. The procurement, classified under the industry categories of fuels and chemical additives, was managed through a limited competition approach, below the threshold. The contract was awarded to LKQ Group (UK) Limited on 25th June 2026, effectively beginning from 1st July 2026 and concluding on 30th June 2028, with a total value of GBP 72,000. The process is currently in the award and contract stage, highlighting the Council's ongoing demand for Ad Blue due to an expanding vehicle fleet.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses supplying chemical products and additives, particularly those with expertise in the automotive and transport sectors. Companies equipped to manage a steady supply chain for Ad Blue, and those able to deliver across multiple locations within the United Kingdom, would find this type of contract beneficial for long-term business growth. Additionally, businesses with the capability to navigate limited competition procurement methods could leverage this experience in future tendering opportunities with public authorities like Lancashire County Council and similar entities. The primary supplier, LKQ Group (UK) Limited, exemplifies a business model that is well-suited to meet such demands, providing a potential benchmark for other interested enterprises.
