Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, is in the planning stages of a procurement process titled "14_28 Building Maintenance Supplies". This initiative falls under the goods industry category and is associated with the supply of building materials. The procurement is chiefly aimed at establishing a framework for ESPO's catalogue, facilitating both bulk deliveries to their Leicester distribution centre and direct deliveries to customers across the UK. Currently in the planning stage, this procurement has a projected contract period starting from 1st April 2028 and potentially extending until March 2032. A future notice is expected to be published by 3rd September 2027, offering additional information and inviting supplier participation.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the building materials supply chain, particularly for those capable of providing a diverse range of items to meet broad public sector requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to this opportunity due to the planned framework agreement’s suitability criteria. By participating, businesses can enhance their growth through the potential for long-term contracts and recurring deliveries, thereby establishing robust connections with a major public authority like ESPO. Additionally, alignment with ESPO’s extensive customer base presents further growth avenues for businesses capable of scaling operations to meet varying demand levels across the public sector.
