The framework targets large customers like local authorities and NHS trusts, offering a one-stop shop for these products. The agreement has the option to extend for up to 24 months. The total value includes this option period. ESP will monitor suppliers' financial stability during the framework period. This tender presents opportunities for businesses to become suppliers of lubricating oils, greases, and antifreeze to public sector bodies in the UK. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations could be well-suited to compete for this tender. The procurement method is an open procedure above threshold, and the contract period runs from February 1, 2023, to January 31, 2025. ## Notice ESPO is inviting tenders to appoint a range of suppliers onto a framework for the supply and delivery of lubricating oils, greases, antifreeze and associated ancillary products, including but not limited to, engine oils, hydraulic oils, transmission oils, agricultural oils, greases, antifreezes, miscellaneous oils and ancillaries, to its customers directly (not via ESPO's warehouse) on a national basis. The framework will target large, multi-location customers e.g., local authorities, NHS trusts, etc. who require a single supplier to offer a one-stop shop for the supply of all their requirements in relation to these product types. It is intended to meet the requirements of local government and public sector bodies throughout the UK. The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total value stated includes the option period. ESPO shall monitor the financial stability of the awarded suppliers during the period of the framework by reference to credit rating agency reports. Additional information: As a Central Purchasing Body as defined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/) 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 & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; 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: https://www.espo.org/legal. ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, 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 may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders information only. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a614d54f-0956-40b5-8474-8eeee84f8917 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 12 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jan 2023 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2023 - 31 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £30,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ESPO | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE19 1ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Enderby | | Westminster constituency | South Leicestershire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 4 | | Supplier names | FLEET FACTORS; FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK; PATERSON ENTERPRISES LIMITED (T/A MORRIS LUBRICANTS; ROCK CHEMICALS LIMITED (T/A ROCK OILS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 24 - Chemical products ### Codes - 09211000 - Lubricating oils and lubricating agents - 24951000 - Greases and lubricants ## Release History - 21 Feb 2023 at 15:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a614d54f-0956-40b5-8474-8eeee84f8917 - 10 Nov 2022 at 11:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0215970c-f41d-4b7a-a7d9-f480d334d7cc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a614d54f-0956-40b5-8474-8eeee84f8917 21st February 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0215970c-f41d-4b7a-a7d9-f480d334d7cc 10th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ EastMidsTenders Procurement Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.espo.org/ - https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/ - https://www.espo.org/legal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
