Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation procured procurement consultancy services to support its procurement services department and wider business. The work covers commercial and procurement advice, guidance on strategy, aims and targets, and practical support to enable delivery. It is a consultancy services requirement, classified under CPV 79418000, delivered for the organisation in Yorkshire and the Humber. The buyer is based in Wakefield. The requirement was arranged as a call-off from YPO Framework 1141, making it relevant to consultancy providers with public procurement, commercial strategy and delivery-support expertise, particularly those able to advise both a specialist procurement function and a wider organisational client base. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Reed Talent Solutions Ltd, trading as Consultancy+, on 30 January 2026, for £13,737. The contract period runs from 2 February 2026 to 1 May 2026. The tender submission deadline was 21 January 2026. The award is active. The selected supplier is the only supplier identified for the requirement. The contracting route was a framework call-off rather than an open competition, so participation depended on access to the relevant YPO framework and its call-off arrangements. The procurement covered consultancy services for procurement and commercial support to the buyer and its wider business.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation, this award demonstrates a requirement for practical procurement consultancy alongside higher-level commercial and strategic advice. A credible competitor would need to support a public-sector procurement function, translate strategy into achievable aims and targets, and provide hands-on assistance that helps the organisation deliver its plans. The work suits providers able to operate across both specialist procurement teams and a wider business, with consultants experienced in commercial advice, procurement strategy, governance and implementation support. Framework access is commercially important because this requirement was awarded through a call-off rather than an open procedure. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises also indicates that appropriately capable smaller or mission-led providers may fit future requirements.
