Framework: winning a place puts you on an approved list for future work. It's the entry ticket, not guaranteed work.

In plain English

ESPO wants to set up a supplier list (framework) covering personal safety and security products - things like alarms, ID badges, safes, CCTV decoy cameras and fire blankets - for resale through its catalogue to public sector customers. The framework runs from March 2027 to March 2029, split across 3 lots, with an estimated total value of about £1.4 million.

Good fit for: Suppliers or distributors of security, safety and ID equipment who can supply products for resale through a catalogue.

Watch out: This is a framework - getting on it is only an entry ticket, not a guarantee of orders; Products must be suitable for resale via the ESPO Catalogue, meaning ongoing supply and stock arrangements will be needed; Registration and expression of interest via the ProContract portal is required before tender documents can be accessed; Split into 3 lots so bidders should check which lot(s) match their product range
