The process is located in Leicester, United Kingdom, with key future communications expected to occur by 4th September 2026. The procurement aims to fulfil delivery requirements at the ESPO Distribution Centre in Leicester, starting from 1st March 2027, through to 31st March 2029, with the potential to extend until 28th February 2031. The estimated contract value is £250,000 GBP. This process involves a framework agreement, indicating collaboration across multiple suppliers under a single purchasing strategy.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of clocks, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the suitability clause tailored to them. By working with ESPO, businesses can access a sustained market through a framework agreement, providing regular business within the public sector by integrating into a wider catalogue that serves crucial educational and public sector needs. The framework, once established, will allow selected suppliers to predict future demand, ensuring more stable business growth. Businesses with a strong reputation for quality, competitive pricing, and the ability to meet consistent supply demands stand well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity. The procurement offers an ideal growth opportunity for businesses ready to expand their reach across public sector supply chains.
