Disposal of Waste and Surplus Petrol, Oils and Lubricants (POL)

Defence Equipment and Support · Central government

In brief

Defence Equipment and Support has announced plans to buy energy and marketing work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £18,500,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 7 years with extensions, starting 15 March 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 15 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £18,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Compliant and Ethical Disposal of Waste and Surplus Petrol, Oils and Lubricants (POL)
