Details

ESPO is a public sector-owned professional buying organisation offering a comprehensive range of procurement services, including access to over 100 free-to-access framework solutions for the wider public sector. We are establishing a client-specific framework for Leicestershire County Council and Leicester City Council, for the supply and delivery/collection of asphalt, roadstone, aggregates, topsoil, chippings, reprocessing of chippings, ready-mixed concrete, and related materials. The Framework is divided into 4 lots. Note: The overall framework value has been automatically assigned to each lot in this notice as ESPO offers no guarantees or estimates of value that may pass through each individual lot (but the overall usage across all lots is not expected to exceed this overall framework value). Please refer to the tender documents for any further details (including further details on each of the lots) - the closing date for submission of Tenders has been extended to 12:00 (12 noon / 12pm) on 23 September 2026.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
