Description

A Collaboration between ESPO, YPO and NEPO, with ESPO acting as the lead contracting authority.

Provision of a complete washroom services solution, including, but not limited to, collection and disposal of sanitary waste, nappy and incontinence waste, medical waste, sharps collection, clinical waste and offensive waste.

The framework also covers the provision of roller towers, hand dryers (rental), matting solutions and the supply of any and all associated washroom equipment (sanitary vending machines, air fresheners, soap dispensers, urinal sleeves, water saving taps and devices etc).

The scope of the framework agreement also includes the provision of period dignity and male incontinence products and services and provides the opportunity for service providers to offer alternative waste treatment methods, such as recycling and incineration, as an alternative to sending waste collected to landfill sites.

The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 12 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period.

ESPO shall monitor the financial stability of the awarded suppliers during the period of the Framework Agreement by reference to credit ratings agency reports. ESPO shall obtain a credit score for the suppliers on or before the Framework start date as a base score and where a significant change is identified over the life of the Framework Agreement, ESPO reserves the right to investigate the reasons for this significant change. Depending on the severity of the offences involved, it will be at the sole discretion of ESPO to suspend or even permanently remove the supplier from the Framework Agreement.

Additional text

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.

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.

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.

An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.
