Need Help?
This framework offers access to specialist consultants who can provide procurement support to customers utilising the ESPO Catering Services framework (704). The suppliers can also provide on-going contract management services.
This framework is a means of support for customers wishing to access ESPO's Catering Services framework (704) and suppliers appointed onto this 704C framework must therefore assist customers to compliantly use the 704 framework. Suppliers should not be appointed to run a procurement exercise under an alternative solution or framework.
ESPO have been running free webinars to assist schools and academies with using the Catering Services framework. For more information or to express interest in joining future webinars, please contact food@espo.org.
