## Summary

ESPO (East Midlands Specialised Purchasing Organisation) has initiated a procurement process for "98_22 Catering Equipment," which seeks to establish a framework agreement covering various lots of catering equipment including commercial and light catering equipment, kitchen design solutions, maintenance, and consumables. This open procurement process is currently in the award stage, with all relevant documentation published on 21st April 2022, including an estimated total contract value of £70,000,000. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2022 and will run until 31st March 2024, with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. The tender period closed on 31st January 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the catering equipment sector, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

Given the framework's use by various public bodies, there is potential for substantial ongoing business through subsequent call-off contracts and engagements with public sector clients across the UK.

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.
