This is for a Preliminary market engagement (PME) where the tender documentation is not yet available. However, interest (Expressions of interest) can still be registered (please refer to the Engagement Section for further details on how to complete). 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 Preliminary market engagement notice (PMEN) is being published to alert the supplier market that ESPO is looking to establish a Framework for the supply of Office Furniture, Leisure and Residential Furniture. The products covered by this proposed Framework will be purchased for re-sale, and orders will be placed according to demand. Delivery shall be direct to ESPO customers. Whilst this framework will be established to mainly support ESPO's catalogue offering, it is envisaged there will be two Lots allocated within this framework that will be available for ESPO customers to call-off from suppliers directly. The Framework is envisaged to include the following Lots (subject to change): Lot 1 - Office Furniture - National Framework Lot 2 - SmartBuy Office Furniture Lot 3 - Office Furniture Standard Ranges Lot 4 - Break-out Furniture Lot 5 - Steel Storage Lot 6 - Residential Furniture - National Framework Lot 7 - SmartBuy Leisure and Residential Furniture Lot 8 - Eating, Living and Sleeping Furniture Lot 9 - Beds and Mattresses The above Lot structure is for information only and some details may be amended within the invitation to tender.
