The procurement process covers categories such as adult and children's fiction and non-fiction books, CDs, DVDs, and periodicals, with a total estimated value of £48,000,000. This framework will be utilising a budget of £12,000,000 for each financial year from 2022 to 2024. The public procurement process is set to commence on 1 April 2022, concluding on 31 March 2024, and is open for local authorities and various public bodies throughout the UK to utilise. Interested parties must engage with ESPO through the EastMids Tenders platform to express their interest.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the printing and supply of books and related materials, as well as those specialising in library services and products. Businesses that provide complete 'serviced' stock, incorporating features such as stock labels, date stamps, and RFID tagging, will be particularly well-suited to participate. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage with ESPO, as the framework allows for a collaborative approach with multiple suppliers, enhancing competition and partnership possibilities within the sector.
