    Brief

    ESPO, a non-profit trading department of Leicestershire County Council owned by six local authorities, is conducting preliminary market engagement to establish a framework for supplying catering disposables. This opportunity invites capable suppliers with proven experience in this product category to participate in market engagement and help define requirements. Products will be purchased for resale through ESPO's catalogue of over 28,000 items serving education and public sector customers. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver goods to ESPO's distribution centre in Leicester and directly to customers throughout the UK according to demand. This is a pre-market engagement phase only; formal tender documentation will be issued at a later date. Interested suppliers should provide information demonstrating their track record, capability, and capacity to supply catering disposables competitively and reliably.
