Lubricants — Public Tenders
The procurement of lubricants, hydraulic oils, and greases for public-sector vehicle fleets, depots, workshops, and technical installations is tendered regularly. Municipal operations, public utilities, transport operators, and the Bundeswehr are the principal customers. The product range covers engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, lubricating greases, and specialty lubricants.

Challenges in finding tenders
Lubricants are often tendered together with fuels or other operating fluids as combined procurements. Identifying lubricant lots in their own right requires detailed lot analysis. Product specifications (viscosity grades, approvals, standards) are also very detailed and must be examined carefully.
The market for biodegradable lubricants is growing, as many public clients include environmental requirements in their tenders — particularly for use in water-protection zones.
