ESPO

ESPO is a public sector owned professional buying organisation (PBO), specialising in providing a wide range of goods and services to the public sector for over 45 years.

We offer a comprehensive, one-stop shop solution to UK schools and nurseries, offering over 28,000 catalogue products, 100 free-to-access frameworks and bespoke procurement services, all with free support and advice available from our expert teams. We also offer a unique range and support for early years settings. ESPO International is a trusted and reliable supplier of education resources for overseas International Schools, available through our global network of distribution partners. We offer everything from early years to secondary resources in line with the UK curriculum. We give back to UK school and nursery settings through our unique My School Fund cashback initiative which is supported by Sainsbury's/Argos and we’ve given back over £1m additional funds to participating schools and families since its launch in 2020! Our 100% public sector ownership means that any surplus we make after recovering our costs is returned to the public purse.
