## Summary

The procurement process titled "45_19 Catering Consumables (Recyclable, Compostable, Biodegradable and Disposable)" is initiated by ESPO, located in Leicester, England. This tender is classified under the disposable catering supplies category, and the planned contract value is approximately £8 million. The tender is currently at the planning stage, with key dates including the submission deadline on 4th January 2019 and the contract period expected to commence on 17th February 2019, lasting until 16th February 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in catering consumables, particularly those focusing on environmentally sustainable products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply. The framework agreement is especially suitable for companies that can supply a diverse array of products such as disposable tableware, food packaging, and cleaning supplies, and are capable of catering to public bodies like local authorities, the NHS, and educational establishments across the UK.

## Notice

ESPO is seeking to establish a multi-supplier framework for the direct supply of a wide range of catering consumables and associated products, covering items such as disposable cutlery, tableware and cups, food packaging, cling film and foil, and kitchen hygiene products. It is envisaged that customers will require some of these products to be environmentally sustainable (recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, etc.) and to include premium and standard product ranges to reflect changes in consumer demand. The framework has not been divided into lots as the requirement is for suppliers who are able to deliver a wide range of catering consumables and associated products. Suppliers will be able to select which geographical regions they are able to deliver to. 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. As a Central Purchasing Body as defined by the EU Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/ESPO/media/Documents/FAQs/ESPO-s_powers_to_trade__website_-2016-12-22.pdf) 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 and Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; 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: http://www.espo.org/About-us-%281%29/FAQs/Legal.

Please note: the closing date and time for submission of tenders is 12:00 midday, 11/01/2019. Additional information: 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.
