Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process seeks to establish a multi-supplier framework for the provision of water coolers and associated services, including maintenance and sanitisation, managed by ESPO (East Sussex, Kent, and Sussex Purchasing Organisation). The initiative is classified under the goods category, with a financial value of £4,000,000. This framework will be available for various public bodies across the UK, including local authorities, educational establishments, and NHS entities. The tender phase is currently active, with submissions due by 21st March 2022, following an open procurement method.

This opportunity is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the supply, installation, and maintenance of water coolers. Companies that can offer diverse products, such as plumbed-in and bottled options, and supplementary services like sanitisation and consumables are well-suited to compete. As ESPO is a central purchasing body, participating in this framework can also facilitate further business with a wide range of public sector clients across the UK, thereby fostering significant growth potential for suppliers in this industry.

Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: https://www.espo.org/legal ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.",
