For the national supply and delivery of vehicle oil and lubricants

Using a BlueLight Commercial framework is a ready-made solution, saving both time and money as we have already carried out due diligence and supplier negotiation. This means customers get best value through our centralised buying power and can be reassured all suppliers, and products, will comply with required legislative and technical standards. Rigorous operational testing has been carried out to enable customers to buy with confidence.

We maintain the strategic relationships with suppliers, whilst the customer maintains control of operational contract management. We will oversee the implementation and onboarding of the contract, act as a single point of contact and provide an escalation route for any performance issues.

We work with members to transform commercial procurement, resulting in a bottom line improvement to cost and time savings, and delivering a more sustainable future. Click here for information.  

Scope of contract

The previous, widely used framework which was let by Greater Manchester Police expired in 2022. BlueLight Commercial has now let a framework for vehicles oil and lubricants to provide continuity and ongoing savings from economies of scale.

BlueLight Commercial has appointed a single provider to supply and deliver vehicle oil and lubricants on a national basis, for all UK police forces and any other named blue light organisations.

A key part of the new specification is to access any new requirements, for example any improvements to lubricant technology, and to assess any new lubricants that maybe required, such as those specific to electric vehicles.
