## Summary

Leicestershire County Council, operating as ESPO, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the supply of paper hygiene consumables and dispensers. This upcoming framework, estimated at a gross value of £12,000,000, targets the goods category and is designed to replenish the ESPO catalogue with toilet paper, handkerchiefs, hand towels, and serviettes. The intended delivery is for bulk supply to ESPO's distribution centre in Leicester, UK. This notice forecasts the procurement to commence with practical application from January 2028 to March 2030, with a potential extension to December 2031. Interested parties should anticipate a more detailed notice to be published by September 2027.

This planned procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers in the hygiene goods sector, particularly those capable of fulfilling large-scale framework agreements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria outlined. As the procurement will establish a framework agreement, it can provide reliable and recurring business throughout the contract period, making it an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand their footprint in public sector supply chains.
