Summary of the contracting process

The YPO (Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation) is seeking suppliers for a Framework Agreement concerning the provision of whiteboard markers, primarily aimed at the education sector. This procurement process, classified under 'Whiteboard accessories', is currently in the Award stage, with the contract already awarded on 23rd September 2021. The total contract value is £12 million, and the agreement runs from 13th October 2021 until 12th October 2025. The framework will facilitate supplies delivered to YPO's distribution centre located in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the stationery and educational supplies sectors, especially for SMEs and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) that can supply whiteboard accessories. With a high-level contract value and a multi-year duration, firms geared towards procurement for public sector organisations, particularly those with experience in large volume distribution and logistics, would be particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts.
