Office and classroom furniture
There are dozens of providers worthy of consideration when it comes to the purchase of new furniture for your school.
The Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) has numerous suppliers for all types of furniture, from office to classroom. You can refer to the current large ESPO catalogue for a list of thousands of products, all of which are compliant with relevant EU regulations.
Please also be aware that if you do not find the product you are looking for in the ESPO catalogue there is still a very good chance that ESPO has a provider that can supply you. Given the amount of suppliers ESPO has it isn’t feasible to put all products from all suppliers into the catalogue so the products listed in the large catalogue do not represent an exhaustive list.
Please contact the ESPO buyers direct (contact details to the right) if you require any further guidance or advice.
If you source some furniture from a non ESPO provider remember to go through the relevant quotation/tender process to establish value for money. Should you source a reputable supplier that offers excellent value for money please let us at PASS know and we will forward you findings on to ESPO to try to establish better deals with the existing providers.
