## Summary

Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, is planning a procurement process titled "12_27 Building Supplies" within the goods category, focusing on building materials. The process is currently at the planning stage, as of 11th May 2026, and aims to establish a framework agreement for providing a wide array of building supplies, including general building materials, paint, kitchens, and plumbing materials, across the United Kingdom. The tender is poised to enter its communication phase with a future notice expected by 23rd April 2027, leading to a contract that could potentially start on 21st July 2027 and extend until July 2031. The estimated value of this procurement is £25,000,000 GBP.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses within the construction and building supply sectors, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as the framework is designed to accommodate them. Companies specialising in supplying building materials, paints, bathroom and kitchen fittings, plumbing supplies, and other related goods can benefit from participating in this framework. This presents an ideal growth opportunity for businesses looking to expand their customer base within the public sector through a substantial and long-term government contract facilitated by Leicestershire County Council.
