Thus, where a notice refers to delivery/use in more than one specific region, but not throughout the UK, a NUTS code will be selected that best reflects the region of greatest use. Where a notice refers to delivery/use within more than one specific region and also throughout the UK, the NUTS code for 'UK' will be selected.

ESPO has tried to ensure that the information we publish on print and online is accurate. Our website is continually updated, and as such provides the most up to date information available.
Much of the information you may find in our printed materials, on our websites, and in our User Guides, is commercially sensitive. Public sector organisations have a duty of confidence towards such information, and you are required to treat it in confidence and not release it to the open market, as doing so may leave both you and ESPO exposed to legal claims. Your obligations as a customer (or potential customer) of ESPO can be found in clause 4 of our website terms and conditions.

Yes. Please click the following link to view our GDPR Compliance Statement.
Crown Commercial Service issued Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 03/17 in December 2017, which concerns Changes to Data Protection Legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation. ESPO’s Customers will be subject to the new Data Protection Legislation, even if they are not “In-Scope Organisations” that are required to follow the PPN. ESPO has therefore taken the steps described in this note to reflect the approaches set out in this PPN and include in its Framework Agreements and template Call-Off Terms a new “GDPR” clause that is similar to that recommended by CCS in its PPN. Whilst, ESPO anticipates that its Customers will assure themselves that their own Contracts, entered using Call-Off Terms in ESPO’s Framework Agreements, comply with the new Data Protection Legislation, as the PPN envisages, the approach ESPO has taken to amending its Framework Agreements is intended to facilitate this. 1. Existing Framework Agreements ESPO has written to all Suppliers under existing Framework Agreements that may require them to process personal data at a Customer’s request, to vary (by agreement) the terms of those Framework Agreements and include the new “GDPR” clause in their Call-Off Terms.
