## Summary

The procurement process is being initiated by Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, for the supply of "Academic and Calendar Year Diaries, Planners and Associated Products". This falls under the goods industry category, specifically "Diaries or personal organisers". The procurement is at the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 4th June 2027, and it covers the United Kingdom. The planned contract period is expected to start on 1st October 2027 and end on 30th September 2028, with possible extensions until 2031. ESPO intends to establish a framework agreement for bulk delivery to its distribution centre, with a gross contract value of £250,000.

This tender presents multiple opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers specialising in stationery and organisational products. The process is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and businesses with capability for bulk production and distribution are likely to benefit from this framework. By participating in this procurement process, businesses can align themselves with a reputable public authority, potentially expanding their market presence and gaining access to a wider customer base through ESPO's catalogue. Additionally, bidders will be engaging in a framework agreement, which can offer more stable long-term client relationships and revenue streams.
