Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO · Local authority

In brief

Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO has announced plans to buy construction and building maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £25,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 21 July 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 21 bids per contract for this buyer (from 239 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £25,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

ESPO is a public sector-owned professional buying organisation that provides a comprehensive range of procurement services, including access to over 100 free-to-access framework solutions designed to support public sector organisations. We are conducting preliminary market engagement with the intention of establishing a framework for the provision of an extensive range of building supplies including general building materials, paint, kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing materials, fencing and electrical items. This is not a call for competition. Tender documentation is not yet available.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
