## Summary

The procurement process involves ESPO (East Midlands Procurement Organisation), which is leading the tender titled "92_21 Liquified Petroleum Gas & Other Liquified Fuels." This project aims to supply Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and other liquified fuels across the United Kingdom, covering items like bulk and cylinder propane and butane. Currently, the procurement stage is complete, having transitioned through a tender process that ended on 20th September 2021. The contract period is set to commence from 22nd October 2021 until 21st October 2023, with a possible extension of up to 24 months. The total estimated value of the framework agreement is £10 million, with a minimum financial requirement of £4 million noted in the tender documents.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the energy and fuel supply sector, particularly those specialising in LPG distribution. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability requirements noted in the tender. The framework not only serves various public bodies—including local authorities, NHS organisations, and charities—but also allows successful bidders to potentially engage with ESPO Trading Limited for additional commercial agreements. Consequently, this could be a valuable avenue for innovative companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.

## Notice

The framework will cover the supply of bulk propane, cylinder propane, cylinder butane and other liquified gas fuels in bulk and cylinder form. 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 The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated in Section II.1.5 includes the option period. To tender: (a) Go to www.eastmidstenders.org, (b) Register (c) Search for tender opportunity '92_21' d) Express an interest (e) Access and download the tender from the website. Additional information: The minimum financial requirement for the purposes of the current tender exercise is stated in the procurement documents. 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 the credit rating agency, Creditsafe Business Solutions Limited. 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. 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.
