## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by ESPO (Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation), seeks to find suppliers for the provision of Commercial and Industrial Laundry Equipment, which includes washing machines, tumble dryers, and rotary ironers. This framework agreement falls under the goods category and is classified within the laundry equipment industry. The procurement method is open, allowing for a broader competition. Key dates include the submission deadline on 5 July 2021, with the contract period commencing on 1 August 2021 and running until 31 July 2024, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The project covers all regions across the UK and supports various public bodies, including NHS and educational establishments.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the laundry equipment sector, servicing public bodies across the UK. Companies that offer commercial washing and drying machines, as well as maintenance and servicing capabilities, would find themselves well-suited to compete. The potential for follow-on contracts through the eAuction process further enhances the business prospects for successful bidders. Given the estimated value of £25 million, participating in this framework could lead to substantial long-term partnerships and contracts with various public sector organisations.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The supply of Commercial and Industrial washing machines, tumble dryers and rotary ironers for purchase and the provision of maintenance services across the UK. 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. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.

Options: The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 12 months. The total estimated value stated in Section II.1.7 includes the option period.
