Lot 4: Technology Products Scheme - to provide employers with a technology products scheme that encompasses provision of all elements of the scheme such as the provision of mobile phones, tablets, laptops and management of the payment process.
Lot 5: Leisure and Retail Scheme - to provide employers with a leisure and retail discount scheme that encompasses provision of all elements of the scheme such as the provision of retail vouchers, discounts and management of the process.
Lot 6: Car Leasing Scheme - to provide employers with a car leasing scheme that encompasses provision of all elements of the scheme such as the provision of cars, associated services, and management of the process.
Lot 7: Childcare Vouchers Salary Sacrifice Scheme - to provide employers with a childcare voucher salary sacrifice scheme that encompasses provision of all elements of the scheme such as the provision of vouchers which can be used to pay for all types of registered childcare across the UK, including but not exclusive to childminders, holiday schemes, nannies, au pairs, nurseries, after school clubs, playgroups, crèches and management of the salary sacrifice process.
The Framework Agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period.
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 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.

(a) go to www.eastmidstenders.org,
