98_22 Commercial and Light Catering Equipment
Main contract details
<p>ESPO is seeking to establish a multi-supplier, multi-lot framework agreement covering a wide range of catering equipment.</p>
<p>The framework shall include commercial catering equipment, turnkey kitchen design solutions, maintenance of commercial catering equipment, light catering equipment and catering consumables:</p>
<p>Lot 1 - Commercial Catering Equipment<br />Lot 2 - Turnkey Kitchen Solutions<br />Lot 3 - Maintenance of Commercial Catering Equipment<br />Lot 4 - Light Catering Equipment<br />Lot 5 - Catering Consumables</p>
<p>The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period.</p>
<p>As a Central Purchasing Body as defined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/) 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; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance 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. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: https://www.espo.org/legal</p>
<p>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 into 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.</p>
<p>Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 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 Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only. </p>
<p>An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.</p>
