## Summary

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority procured the supply of oil and lubricants for delivery across the East of England. The requirement covers general lubricating oils and lubricating agents, including motor oils and compressor lubricating oils (CPV 09211000). It is a goods procurement supporting the authority’s operational requirements. The named buyer is based at Essex County Fire and Rescue Service headquarters in Witham. The supply scope is focused on lubricant products rather than installation, maintenance or other services, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers able to provide a range of oils and lubricants for public-sector fleet or equipment use.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The authority used a direct award to a sole supplier under the Blue Light Commercial National Framework for the Provision of Oils and Lubricants. Fuchs Lubricants was awarded the contract on 2 September 2026 for £80,000. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2026. The award was made through the existing framework rather than an open competition, and the requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There were no lots or separate awards; the award covers the full oil and lubricants requirement.

This award indicates sustained demand from Essex’s fire and rescue authority for a broad range of operational lubricants, including motor oils and compressor oils. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to these product categories, the capacity to supply a public-sector fleet or equipment operation, and robust distribution across the East of England. The successful supplier, Fuchs Lubricants, is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This points to the importance of scale, product breadth and reliable fulfilment rather than a small, specialist one-off supply. Businesses tracking similar requirements should understand the Blue Light Commercial oils and lubricants framework route and be positioned to meet its supplier and product requirements.
