How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Open framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Bids received
- 16 bids on the busiest of 3 lots · 17 suppliers appointed
- Framework period
- 3 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 26 Nov 2025
- Buyer regions
- UK
- Supplier levy on call-offs (max %)
3% of call-off value · As a public body, ESPO have a statutory obligation to recover the costs incurred in the management of this Framework. This obligation is met by means of a Framework Fee which will be payable by the Suppliers to ESPO based on the total turnover of business conducted by them under the Framework.
The value of the Framework Fee shall be calculated as a percentage of the total value of business conducted by the Supplier under the Framework. Framework Fee payments will be plus VAT at the prevailing rate.
Who may buy through it
As a Centralised procurement authority as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, the Framework is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at www.espo.org/amfile/file/download… ↗) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authorities; Educational Establishments(including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. General details on classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: www.espo.org/legal ↗.
Published description of the framework
Lot 1 is accessible via both call-off with competition (further competitive selection process), and call-off without competition.
Lot 2.1 is accessible via call-off with competition (further competitive selection process).
Lot 2.2 is accessible via call-off without competition to ranked suppliers.
For call-off with competition (further competitive selection process), an eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call-off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.
ESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:
ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter in to an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Supply of Pest Control Products | 20% | 80% | |
| 2 · Proactive and Reactive Pest Control Services | 50% | 50% | |
| 3 · Emergency Reactive Pest Control Services | 50% | 50% |

- Market engagement30 Jul 2025, 23:59 BST
Suppliers are being engaged with to determine:
- the scope of the framework renewal
- changes in the market (if any)
- capacity to meet the framework requirements
- potential risks in the market
- feedback on our proposed procurement strategy
- if social value can be provided to framework users
Engagement is being undertaken via a Request for Information (RFI) Questionnaire, that is available as a Public Message on the EastMidsTenders eProcurement Portal (www.eastmidstenders.org ↗). Please refer to all instructions in the Public Messages, and any organisation that feels they can contribute should return the RFI Questionnaire via the Messaging facility on the eProcurement Portal by 17:00 (5pm) on 30 July 2025.
Suppliers wishing to participate and access Public Messages MUST first register interest for 150_25 via the EastMidsTenders eProcurement Portal (please see below for further details).
For the purposes of this Preliminary market engagement (PME), please express your interest as follows:
(a) Go to www.eastmidstenders.org ↗; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for tender opportunity '150_25' (via "View Opportunities" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest.
Please access the Messages area/section of the eProcurement Portal (ProContract / EastMidsTenders - Messages can be accessed via the Activity dashboard once an Expression of interest has been completed) for any further communications on this preliminary market engagement, including the RFI documentation.

Suppliers should note that this is a preliminary market engagement exercise (and NOT a competitive tender process at this stage). The participation of a supplier in this preliminary market engagement will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and ESPO.
It is anticipated that Suppliers taking part in the preliminary market engagement will not be put at an unfair advantage when bidding for this framework. A supplier's participation, or lack of participation, shall not impact the ability of the supplier to participate in any resulting tender exercise. Suppliers should note that any interest indicated does not constitute a commitment to participate in any future tendering exercise.
