ESPO is seeking to establish a multi-supplier framework for the direct supply of a wide range of catering consumables and associated products, covering items such as disposable cutlery, tableware and cups, food packaging, cling film and foil, and kitchen hygiene products.
It is envisaged that customers will require some of these products to be environmentally sustainable (recyclable,biodegradable, compostable, etc.) and to include premium and standard product ranges to reflect changes in consumer demand. The framework has not been divided into lots as the requirement is for suppliers who are able to deliver a wide range of catering consumables and associated products. Suppliers will be able to select which geographical regions they are able to deliver to.

ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate Framework Agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any second Framework Agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Ltd may enter into the second Framework Agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.
