This procurement falls under the services category, with a significant estimated value of £16 million. The tender is currently in the open stage with a submission deadline of 12:00 noon on 9th November 2020. The contract is set to commence on 1st December 2020, lasting until 30th November 2022. This procurement has relevance across multiple locations within the UK, including Leicester where ESPO is based, and is accessible to various public bodies such as local authorities and NHS entities through an open procedure mechanism. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in technical testing, consultancy, and monitoring services, particularly those that are SMEs and VCSEs (voluntary, community and social enterprises). Companies that can provide water system risk assessments and hygiene monitoring are particularly suited to compete. The potential for additional framework agreements with ESPO Trading Limited means that there could be further contracting opportunities in the third sector, thereby enabling businesses to expand their client base while contributing essential services to public sector entities. ## Notice ESPO is seeking to establish a multi supplier framework agreement for the provision of water system risk assessments and water hygiene monitoring services. Lot 1: Water System Risk Assessment Lot 2: Water Hygiene Monitoring Services Lot 3: Water System Risk Assessment and Water Hygiene Monitoring Services The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period. The following information is applicable to all lots: - 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.
