Lot 1 - Supply of Handling Equipment - Stock Lot 2 - Supply of Handling Equipment - Direct Delivery Lot 3 - Supply of Access Equipment - Direct Delivery Lot 4 - Supply of Barrier Systems - Direct Delivery Lot 5 - Supply of Steel Shelving - Stock Lot 6 - Supply of Steel Shelving - Direct Delivery Lot 7 - Supply of Steel Shelving - Large Projects - National Framework The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 21 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period. This framework will operate on-going contract monitoring procedures following award, to ensure financial stability requirements are maintained. Credit rating checks will be carried out on a regular basis, using a credit rating agency. Any changes will be assessed (compared with a baseline credit rating score obtained at contract award stage) and significant changes or sustained degradation will be investigated. Additional information: As a Central Purchasing Body as defined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authorities; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a702968-a30d-44e0-8c8e-c90eba5eef01 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 27 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Jan 2024 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2024 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £8,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £9,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ESPO | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE19 1ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Enderby | | Westminster constituency | South Leicestershire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 7 | | Supplier names | BRUYNZEEL STORAGE SYSTEMS; DIMENSION STORAGE & INTERIORS; GPC INDUSTRIES; H C SLINGSBY; RACKLINE; RAPID RACKING; WHITTAN INDUSTRIAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 42 - Industrial machinery - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 30131000 - Mailroom equipment - 34911100 - Trolleys - 34928300 - Safety barriers - 37441200 - Stair climbers - 39131000 - Office shelving - 39132100 - Filing cabinets - 39132500 - Office trolleys - 42400000 - Lifting and handling equipment and parts - 44000000 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ## Release History - 30 Jan 2024 at 11:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a702968-a30d-44e0-8c8e-c90eba5eef01 - 26 Sep 2023 at 13:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/52626c78-676d-4d64-b568-a7731c3fa38e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a702968-a30d-44e0-8c8e-c90eba5eef01 30th January 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/52626c78-676d-4d64-b568-a7731c3fa38e 26th September 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ (a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for tender opportunity '277_24' (via "View Opportunities" from the 'EastMidsTenders' Portal); (d) Express an interest; (e) Download the tender documents (from the ProContract Activity summary screen, once an Expression of interest has been completed). - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003029-2024 Find a Tender Contract award notice ## Notice URLs - https://www.espo.org/ - https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/ - https://www.espo.org/legal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
