## Summary

ESPO has issued a tender titled "106_19 - Lubricating Oils, Greases & Antifreeze" as part of a national Framework Arrangement to facilitate the supply and delivery of lubrication products for public sector organisations across the UK. This procurement falls under the goods category and has an estimated total value of £20,000,000, which includes an option to extend the contract for an additional 24 months. The tender process is currently in the award stage, with a contract period set to commence on 1st February 2019 and concluding on 31st January 2021. Interested parties were required to submit their applications by 12:00 midday on 19th November 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses operating within the lubrication and ancillary product sectors. Suppliers that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate. The successful suppliers will engage not only in delivering goods to eligible public bodies but also may establish separate agreements with ESPO Trading Ltd, targeting third sector clients who do not operate under the Public Contract Regulations. This creates a pathway for businesses to expand their market reach within both public and third sector engagements.

## Notice

This is to be a national Framework Arrangement, via which eligible public sector organisations across the UK can arrange for the supply and delivery of a wide range of lubrication oils, greases, antifreeze and associated ancillary products. The framework to be established is intended to meet the requirements of local government and public sector bodies. The Framework Agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period. As a Central Purchasing Body as defined by the EU Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/ESPO/media/Documents/FAQs/ESPO-s_powers_to_trade__website_-2016-12-22.pdf) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: - 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. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: http://www.espo.org/About-us-%281%29/FAQs/Legal ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier will be asked to enter into an additional separate Framework Agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
