SMI NAMED SUPPLIER ON THE ESPO 777 FRAMEWORK

Public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to balance compliance, cost control, and operational efficiency 

At the same time, staff need reliable access to everyday cleaning and janitorial products that keep sites safe, clean, and running smoothly. 

SMI is a named supplier on the ESPO 777 framework for Cleaning Materials and Janitorial Supplies, supporting public sector teams with access to a wide range of workplace essentials. 

This provides a structured procurement route for cleaning and hygiene products, with SMI supporting supply across multiple categories. 

WHAT IS THE ESPO 777 FRAMEWORK? 

The ESPO 777 framework provides public sector staff with access to cleaning and janitorial supplies through a compliant procurement route 

It is designed to support organisations in sourcing commonly used cleaning products from recognised suppliers under an established framework agreement. 

The framework is used by a wide range of public sector bodies, including: 

• NHS trusts 
• Local authorities 
• Emergency services 
• Housing associations 
• Schools, colleges, and universities 
• Government departments and public bodies 

WHAT’S COVERED UNDER THE ESPO 777 FRAMEWORK? 

It includes a wide range of cleaning and janitorial products, including: 

• Floor care solutions  
• Kitchen cleaning products
• Cleaning chemicals and detergents
• Paper products and bathroom supplies
• Janitorial equipment, including trolleys, brushes, and cloths

This supports the ongoing requirements of teams managing hygiene, maintenance, and building standards across multiple sites.

SUPPORTING A SIMPLER APPROACH TO WORKPLACE SUPPLY 

SMI supports public sector organisations looking to simplify workplace procurement through structured routes such as the ESPO 777 framework. 

As a single source supplier, we help bring together cleaning and janitorial products alongside wider workplace essentials, reducing the need to manage multiple suppliers across similar categories. 

For many organisations, complexity builds when multiple suppliers, ordering systems, and product ranges are in use across different sites. 

By supporting consolidation through a single route, businesses can reduce: 

• Inconsistency in products used across sites 
• Lack of visibility across departmental spend 
• Fragmentation across similar product categories  
• Time spent managing repeat orders across multiple systems 
• Administrative pressure on procurement and facilities teams 

This helps teams reduce complexity in sourcing and focus more time on operational priorities and day-to-day service delivery. 

MANAGING WORKPLACE SUPPLY THROUGH MY-SMI® 

A large part of this complexity comes from fragmented ordering and limited visibility across suppliers. 

While frameworks such as ESPO help provide a structured route to sourcing supplies, day-to-day management can still become disjointed without a single place to bring everything together. 

MY-SMI® is designed to address this. 

The portal brings workplace essentials into one place, helping public sector teams streamline how they order, track, and manage supplies. 

Through MY-SMI®, organisations can: 

• Improve visibility across purchasing activity 
• Reduce reliance on multiple supplier systems 
• Place and repeat orders quickly and efficiently 
• Support consistency across sites and departments 
• Access cleaning and janitorial products in one place
