Contract for Janitorial supplies and equipment via ESPO Framework 777_22

About the buyer

Redditch Borough Council is a local authority serving the Redditch area of Worcestershire. Procurement is run as a shared service with Bromsgrove District Council. Suppliers register on ProContract, the e-tendering portal run by Due North Sourcing Solutions. Much of its spending flows through frameworks such as YPO, ESPO, the Crown Commercial Service, LHC, Fusion 21, EEM Ltd and PFH. A rolling Procurement Pipeline, updated quarterly, lists contracts due for reprocurement and new procurement projects planned across the next 12 months. Contract Procedure Rules set out the quotation and tender procedures that the shared procurement service follows for different contract values.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Redditch Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, transport equipment and business services.
