## Summary

ScotRail Trains Limited, based in Glasgow, is initiating a public procurement process at the planning stage for the supply and delivery of oils, greases, and DMU coolant. This procurement involves engaging with potential suppliers to ascertain their capabilities and is set within the goods category under railway services. The planned contract will cover deliveries to ScotRail locations in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Inverness, with a prospective notice date set for 10th November 2025. This process aims to source two lots: one for oils and greases and another for DMU coolant, each with an initial three-year duration and possible extensions. The total contract value is estimated at £773,000.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the distribution and supply of industrial oils and coolants, particularly those familiar with railway operational requirements. The potential contract promises a stable business relationship over several years, with opportunities for renewal. Firms with existing supply chain operations across the UK, especially those with capabilities to serve multiple locations efficiently, will find this a fitting opportunity. This could be highly beneficial for both established suppliers in the railway sector and new entrants looking to expand their portfolios through involvement with a major public transport provider like ScotRail.
