Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) wants to set up a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers, for educational tables and exam desks. Public sector organisations, mainly schools and colleges, can then order from these suppliers through YPO, with the supplier delivering straight to the customer. The estimated total value is £12 million across nine product lots.

What the buyer wants

• Apply to join the framework and be appointed for one or more of the nine product lots, each covering a different table or desk type, edge finish and frame construction. • Manufacture or supply the specified furniture to the required standards and deliver it directly to the end customer when YPO places an order. • For Lot 9, deliver Educational Tables on an express basis, so the supplier must be able to meet faster delivery timescales.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses would be excluded by the need to manufacture or supply to BS EN 1729 with test evidence, the ability to deliver nationwide at volume, and the financial capacity to fulfil large orders across a £12 million framework.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
