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. Suppliers register on the Central Digital Platform to tender for places on ESPO's frameworks. Registration on East Mids Tenders, the regional e-tendering portal, is also required to bid. 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.
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 ESPO's contract awards have been in IT services, communications equipment and business services.
