Tender 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/071866-2025 - the Closing date for submission of Tenders has been extended to 12:00 (12 noon) on 21 November 2025. 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 catalogue framework covering the supply of repositionable notes, self-adhesive labels, envelopes, notebooks, pads, flipchart pads, cardboard storage boxes, filing modules and other associated products. The Framework is divided into 9 lots: Lot 1. Envelopes Lot 2. Adhesive Labels (including ESPO's smartbuy range) Lot 3. Premium Adhesive Labels Lot 4. Repositionable Notes (including ESPO's smartbuy range) Lot 5. Premium Repositionable Notes Lot 6. Notebooks and Pads (including ESPO's smartbuy range) Lot 7. Educational Notebooks, Registers and Revision Aids Lot 8. Flipchart Pads (including ESPO's smartbuy range) Lot 9. Office Storage Boxes and Filing Modules Once the initial period of the contract has ended (i.e., 31 March 2027), there is an option to extend the framework by up to a further 35 months. This is dependent on ESPO, ESPO Customers, and market needs, as well as the performance of sales. 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.

About the buyer

ESPO is a purchasing organisation owned and governed by six county and city councils across the East of England: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Warwickshire and Peterborough. A joint committee set up under the Local Government Act oversees its work. Competitions span more than 100 frameworks, from buildings, energy and food and catering to technology and professional services. Appointed suppliers then serve ESPO's public sector customers across the region without a further re-tender.

Over the past 5 years, most of ESPO's contract awards have been in IT services, communications equipment and business services.
