    Brief

    ESPO, a non-profit trading department of Leicestershire County Council jointly operated by six local authorities, is conducting preliminary market engagement to establish a framework for supplying Design & Technology materials and equipment to schools across the UK. ESPO maintains a catalogue of over 28,000 products serving education and public sector customers. Selected suppliers will provide products for resale through ESPO's distribution centre in Leicester, with delivery to schools and customers throughout the UK. The framework is expected to include two lots: Lot 1 covers construction kits, modelling kits, educational sets, coding and robotics equipment, badge making equipment, D&T components, electronics, tools, accessories and furniture; Lot 2 covers construction kits, modelling kits, educational sets, D&T components, glue guns, glue sticks and spray paints. Lot structures may be amended in the formal invitation to tender. This pre-market engagement seeks to identify capable suppliers with proven experience delivering products in these categories and gather feedback to define requirements. Please note: this is not a competitive tender and formal tender documentation is not yet available.
