About ESPO

ESPO’s key objective is to help its member authorities achieve optimum value for money when buying goods and services. The ESPO Member authorities are Cambridgeshire County Council, Leicestershire County Council, Lincolnshire County Council, Norfolk County Council, Peterborough City Council, and Warwickshire County Council. 

Criteria Requirements

In being approved on the framework we have demonstrated the ability to meet the following criteria and ‘objectives’ of the procurement process for this framework: 

• To offer public sector customers access to a range of pre-approved Suppliers from whom they may appoint a Supplier to deliver fitness equipment and associated products and services

• To create a multiple-supplier framework for the supply of fitness equipment  
• To provide access to easy and generic further competitions designed to provide bespoke solutions for Customers  
• To enable Social Value to be delivered if appropriate  

Who Can Use ESPO

Whilst initially for use by local authorities served by ESPO – being a Central Purchasing Body as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework may also be open for use by any “public body” including: 

• Central government agencies and ministries  
• NHS and emergency (blue light) services  
• Schools, academies, colleges and universities  
• Registered charities  
• Registered social landlords  

Origin Fitness's services can now be accessed as part of this framework which makes the procuring services process more streamlined and effective for public sector organisations. This means a full procurement process does not need to be run saving time and making the process more efficient.

We are thrilled to now be able to offer our services to a range of public sector organisations across the bespoke projects and the supply of fitness equipment frameworks."
