## Summary

This tender is categorized under the goods industry, specifically supplying bespoke corporate and leisure promotional products and rubber stamps on a national scale. The procurement method is an open procedure, and while the tender period has ended, the framework contract period extends from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2026, with an awarded value of £800,000. The contract's minimum threshold is set at £400,000, and the tender notice was published on 6 September 2021, with an earlier closing date of 7 October 2021.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of promotional and personalised items, including SMEs and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) that may benefit from the framework’s open structure. Companies providing items such as pens, notebooks, umbrellas, and stamps are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that aim to engage with public and third-sector clients, such as charities and government departments, will find value in this framework, allowing them to expand their client base and enhance growth potential in this sector.

## Notice

This framework will cover the supply of bespoke corporate and leisure promotional products and stamps. The products are to be supplied to customers on a national basis. 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.
