Description
The supply of lubricants is required to Hutchison Ports (UK) Ltd.'s ports namely: The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company; Harwich International Port Limited, Thamesport (London) Limited. Hutchison Ports (UK) Ltd is contracting as agent only and shall have no liability under the agreement. Each ports liability shall be several.
The Ports require various engine oils; industrial gear oils, automotive gear oils; hydraulic oils; transmission oils; ancillary grades; grease; anti-freeze and Ad-Blue to be delivered to site within five working days or three working days for emergency orders. Some items are required to be delivered in bulk. The supplier will also need to provide and maintain a bulk tank telemetry and monitoring system; and the Ports preference is for supplier self-delivery into the bulk tanks at each port following training.
To avoid duplication of buying resources and in the interests of efficiency and single use telemetry system for these group companies, the supplier must be able to supply all three ports.
