Leicestershire County Council's ESPO trading department is establishing a supplier framework to provide personal safety and security equipment for resale through their catalogue.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a framework contract requiring catalogue supply and distribution capability. Most very small traders without existing stock or manufacturing capacity will struggle. You must be able to deliver both to a central distribution hub and directly to end customers across multiple establishments.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
