    "description": "ESPO are establishing a national framework for the provision of site security services, to include key holding, lock / unlock services, static guarding, and mobile guarding.\nThe framework is NOT divided into lots - the framework could have been split into Lots by region or service type. However, our customers typically require suppliers to be able to provide a full range of site security services. Tenderers are able to bid on a regional basis within the framework, therefore SMEs are not precluded from submitting a bid based on their location or service area and it was not deemed relevant to split into regional Lots.\nPlease refer to the tender documents for further details - the closing date for submission of Tenders is 12:00 (12 noon / 12pm) on 23 March 2026.\nTo tender (please proceed to step (e) if an expression of interest has already been completed):\n(a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for tender opportunity \u0027347_26\u0027 (via \"View Opportunities\" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); (d) Express an interest; (e) Download the tender documents (from the ProContract Activity summary screen).\nAny questions or clarifications relating to this tender opportunity should be submitted to ESPO as a message on the eProcurement Portal, once an Expression of interest has been completed.",

Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.\nPlease note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction.\nPlease refer to the tender documents for any further details.\nESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:\nESPO 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.\nAny 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.
