In plain English
Greater Western Railway (GWR) needs to buy bulk oils, lubricants, greases, coolants, antifreeze, screenwash and AdBlue to maintain and service their trains and equipment. This is a large contract worth around £2.4 million, split into two lots depending on product type.
What the buyer wants
• Supply approved oils, lubricants, greases, coolants, antifreeze, screenwash and AdBlue that meet GWR's technical and engineering requirements • Provide all products with Safety Data Sheets (SDS), COSHH information and full product documentation • Only supply substitute or alternative products if GWR has given prior written approval, especially for items requiring OEM (manufacturer) or ROSCO approval
Lots
- Oils, Lubricants and Greases
- Coolants, Antifreeze, Screenwash and AdBlue
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Most small businesses cannot bid because GWR requires OEM and ROSCO pre-approval of products before supply, which typically only major industrial suppliers hold. The £2.4 million contract value and engineering-critical nature of products means you would need existing approvals, significant inventory, and likely existing relationships with GWR.
