Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO · Local authority

In brief

Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO has announced plans to buy energy and architecture and engineering 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 £100,000,000 including 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 10 October 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 £100,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

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/ For details of ESPO Frameworks, please visit https://www.espo.org/frameworks.html This Pipeline notice is being published to alert the supplier market that ESPO expects to establish a framework to provide access to a range of renewable energy systems for renewable energy projects, including solar PV, heat generation and wind turbines.

  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.
