    Brief

    ESPO, a non-profit trading department of Leicestershire County Council jointly owned by six local authorities, is conducting preliminary market engagement to establish a framework for supplying office machines and equipment. ESPO operates a catalogue of over 28,000 products serving education and public sector customers. The framework will supply products for resale to ESPO's distribution centre in Leicester and directly to customers throughout the UK. The framework is expected to include three lots: Office Machines, Computer Accessories and IT Consumables, and Clocks (subject to change). This is pre-tender market engagement to identify capable suppliers with proven track records in delivering these product categories. Suppliers are invited to provide information to help ESPO define requirements. Tender documentation is not yet available, and this is not a formal call for competition.
