Description

THIS IS A TENDER NOTIFICATION (TN) - THE TENDER DOCUMENTATION IS NOW AVAILABLE (until the Expression of interest period closes), SEE ALL OF THE BELOW DETAILS IN FULL FOR FURTHER DETAILS (e.g., click "Show more" to see the full Description plus summary instructions that will enable access to the applicable documentation). And please refer to the UK4: Tender notice for any additional details - see https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080940-2025 - the Closing date for submission of Tenders is 12:00 (12 noon) on 19 January 2026. Note: Any questions or clarifications MUST be received via the Messaging facility on this eProcurement Portal only (as also stated below). Also, if you are unable to complete an Expression of interest, this is likely to be due to this having already been registered via a previous notification e.g., the PME (an individual contact/Workgroup cannot complete more than once). Please check your Activities area in this case instead (or otherwise contact Proactis Supplier Support for any other system related help). ESPO invites Tenders for a National framework agreement for the supply of 'shelf-ready' stock to libraries, serviced to individual specification. Including associated services. The Framework is divided into 2 lots: Lot 1. Adult Stock Lot 2. Children's Stock The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months, and ESPO may choose to use the extension periods where: • The framework is performing well; • The framework continues to meet customer needs. ESPO reserves the right to implement the extension period in part, full, or in increments (such as 2x 12-month periods). The total estimated value stated includes the option to extend the framework as noted above. Please ensure that you access the ITT Event / Activity (Activity summary screen) for the tender documents once an Expression of interest ('register interest’) has been completed. For any questions relating to the operation of the Portal itself, ProContract, these should be submitted to Proactis, and the following links (URL's) can be used for this for supplier support and system technical queries: https://www.proactis.com/uk/support-login/ or via https://suppliersupport.proactisservicedesk.com/. OTHERWISE, ANY QUESTIONS RELATING TO THIS TENDER OR THE TENDER CONTENT SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO ESPO by accessing the Messages section on the Activity dashboard screen once an Expression of interest has been registered.
