Understand products/service offerings from suppliers and the marketplace in general.\nEngagement with suppliers is anticipated to be a mix of methods, including Requests for Information (RFI) hosted on the EastMidsTenders eProcurement Portal (www.eastmidstenders.org), and meetings (both virtual and in-person). Visits to supplier’s premises may also be used where deemed to be of particular use.\nSuppliers wishing to participate in the engagement process must first express an interest as follows:\n(a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for tender opportunity '23_27' (via \"View Opportunities\" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest.\nSuppliers can then access the RFI questionnaire in the ‘Messages’ section via the ‘Activity’ dashboard once an expression of interest has been registered - the deadline for responding to the RFI is 17:00 (5pm) on 12 June 2026.

Understand products/service offerings from suppliers and the marketplace in general.\nEngagement with suppliers is anticipated to be a mix of methods, including Requests for Information (RFI) hosted on the EastMidsTenders eProcurement Portal (www.eastmidstenders.org), and meetings (both virtual and in-person). Visits to supplier’s premises may also be used where deemed to be of particular use.\nSuppliers wishing to participate in the engagement process must first express an interest as follows:\n(a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for tender opportunity '23_27' (via \"View Opportunities\" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest.\nSuppliers can then access the RFI questionnaire in the ‘Messages’ section via the ‘Activity’ dashboard once an expression of interest has been registered - the deadline for responding to the RFI is 17:00 (5pm) on 12 June 2026. Responses to the RFI as well as any questions or clarifications should be submitted to ESPO as a message on the eProcurement Portal.\nNotwithstanding the above process, as this procurement exercise is a renewal of an existing ESPO framework, ESPO reserves the right to engage with some, all or none of the incumbent suppliers appointed to the existing ESPO framework, alongside any additional suppliers identified following the above expressions of interests and/or a RFI exercise." } ], "dueDate": [ { "releaseID": "050001-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-28T07:53:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2026-06-19T23:59:59+01:00" } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "050001-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-28T07:53:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "scheduled" } ] } ] }, "parties": [ { "id": "GB-PPON-PYDD-1122-TCVN", "name": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO" } ], "identifier": { "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-PPON" } ], "id": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "PYDD-1122-TCVN" } ] }, "address": { "streetAddress": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Barnsdale Way, Grove Park, Enderby" } ], "locality": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Leicester" } ], "postalCode": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "LE19 1ES" } ], "country": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB" } ], "countryName": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "United Kingdom" } ], "region": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKF22" } ] }, "contactPoint": { "name": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Catalogue Procurement Team" } ], "email": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "tenders@espo.org" } ] }, "roles": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "buyer" ] } ], "details": { "url": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.espo.org/" } ], "classifications": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthoritySubCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - sub-central government" } ] } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-PPON-PYDD-1122-TCVN" } ], "name": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO" } ] }, "tender": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "23_27" } ], "legalBasis": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2023/54" } ], "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKPGA" } ], "uri": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" } ] }, "title": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "23_27 Cleaning Chemicals and Hand Soaps" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "041947-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T13:59:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Please note, this is a Pipeline notice only for ESPO contracts that are forecast to be re-procured or new procurement projects that are expected to be undertaken.
