## Summary

Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, has announced a planned procurement process for a national framework covering the supply and delivery of office, leisure, and residential furniture. The notice was published on 7th May 2026 as part of the planning stage. This framework, expected to commence on 1st April 2028 and conclude on 31st March 2030 with a possible extension until 2032, aims to facilitate direct access for ESPO's national customer base. The procurement process is classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on office furniture as per CPV code 39130000, with delivery regions specified throughout the United Kingdom. The total estimated value of the framework is £4,000,000, and the procurement method involves establishing a framework agreement.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of office, leisure, and residential furniture. Given the scale and scope of this national framework, it is particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to suitability criteria explicitly encouraging SME participation. Businesses capable of offering diverse and innovative furniture solutions directly to end customers without resorting to catalogue listings stand to benefit significantly from this procurement opportunity, supporting business growth and expansion within the UK market.

## Notice

Please note, this is a Pipeline notice only for ESPO contracts that are forecast to be re-procured or new procurement projects that are expected to be undertaken. The details captured are therefore only provided as an estimate, and no further information other than as captured can be provided at this time. For all current ESPO opportunities, please visit https://www.eastmidstenders.org/. ESPO is a trading department of Leicestershire County Council. It is a non-profit making body owned and operated jointly by six local authorities. We provide a catalogue range, providing our customers with access to over 28,000 products that cover all key areas of education and wider public sector requirements. This Pipeline notice is being published to alert the supplier market that ESPO expects to establish a framework for the supply and delivery of office, leisure and residential furniture for delivery direct to individual customers. This will be a national framework for ESPO customers to access directly (non catalogue).
