Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, has completed the procurement process for a framework titled "182_26 Creative Materials, Card, Textiles and Glitter". This procurement is conducted under an open procedure method and falls under the goods category, targeting primarily the craft and arts industry. It involves delivery to the ESPO Distribution Centre in Leicester, UK, and has resulted in a contract set to commence on 1 March 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2028, with the option to extend by up to 23 months afterwards.

Suppliers such as ANTHONY PETERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED and BRIGHT IDEAS MARKETING LIMITED, both SMEs, have been identified as key suppliers in this framework, exemplifying the inclusiveness and competitive nature of this opportunity. This procurement also highlights the flexibility in product offerings, as ESPO reserves rights for modifications in products listed during the framework’s lifetime, aligning with market needs and sales performance.

These topics may include: 1. develop ESPO's requirements and approach to the procurement 2. help better identify suitable suppliers in the market and their supply chains 3. understand products/service offerings from suppliers and the marketplace in general Engagement with suppliers is anticipated to be a mix of methods, including Requests for Information (RFI) and meetings (both virtual and/or in-person).

These topics may include: 1. develop ESPO's requirements and approach to the procurement 2. help better identify suitable suppliers in the market and their supply chains 3. understand products/service offerings from suppliers and the marketplace in general Engagement with suppliers is anticipated to be a mix of methods, including Requests for Information (RFI) and meetings (both virtual and/or in-person). Visits to supplier's premises may also be used where deemed to be of particular use. For the purposes of this Preliminary market engagement (PME), please express your interest as follows: (a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for tender opportunity '182_26' (via \"View Opportunities\" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest. Please access the Messages area/section of the eProcurement Portal (ProContract / EastMidsTenders - Messages can be accessed via the Activity dashboard once an Expression of interest has been completed) for any further communications on this preliminary market engagement, including the RFI documentation - optional responses are required by 12/05/2025. In the case of any questions or clarifications relating to this PME, these should also be submitted to ESPO as a Message on the eProcurement Portal (again once an Expression of interest has been completed). Notwithstanding the above process, as this procurement exercise is a renewal of an existing ESPO framework, ESPO reserves the right to engage with some, all or none of the incumbent suppliers appointed to the existing framework, alongside any additional suppliers identified following the above expression of interest and/or RFI exercise. Suppliers should note that this is a preliminary market engagement exercise (and NOT a competitive tender process at this stage). The participation of a supplier in this preliminary market engagement will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and ESPO. A supplier's participation, or lack of participation, in this preliminary market engagement shall not impact the ability of the supplier to participate in any resulting tender exercise. Suppliers should note that any interest indicated does not constitute a commitment to participate in any future tendering exercise.",
