## Summary

The procurement process involves the East Midlands Procurement Organisation (ESPO), which is initiating a national framework for the supply of refuse and recycling products. The tender, titled "860_22 Refuse and Recycling Products", falls under the goods procurement category, particularly related to polythene waste and refuse sacks and bags. The procurement is currently in the award stage, following the completion of the tender process, which had a submission deadline of 12:00 noon on 7th December 2021. The contract period is set from 1st February 2022 to 31st January 2024, with an estimated total value of £150 million. This framework is accessible to various public bodies across the UK, including local authorities and registered charities.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses, particularly those in manufacturing and supplying waste management products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-positioned to compete for contracts under this framework. The successful procurement will not only benefit companies directly involved in the production of refuse and recycling equipment but also those that offer maintenance services and accessories related to waste management. Engaging in this framework could expand market reach, enhance product visibility, and establish long-term relationships within the public sector.

## Notice

In this instance ESPO are establishing a national framework for the provision of Refuse and Recycling Products, including but not limited to plastic wheeled bins (2 and 4 wheels), steel wheeled bins (4 wheels), steel wheeled bin maintenance, plastic refuse sacks, compostable liners, food caddies, kerbside boxes, compost bins and composting accessories. The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement. 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.
