Contract Summary
YPO are looking for a provider to be appointed onto a Contract for the provision of Freight Forwarding Services. The Contract is designed to meet the needs of YPO and any of YPO's wholly owned associated or subsidiary companies. YPO are looking for a freight forwarder who can provide predominantly sea freight services and occasionally air freight, rail and road freight services from a variety of ports and locations globally to deliver and coordinate delivery of the containers to a warehouse of YPO's choosing. 85% of YPO's total supply base is domestic, while remaining 15% is based in Far East, including ad-hoc EU suppliers. The products to be moved are not classified as dangerous goods. They are mainly school supply type items. This can include (but not exclusively); pens, pencils, paper, early years, sport and curriculum items. The core purpose of the freight forwarder would be to ensure that delays to shipments during import (and any associated storage or processing costs levied by the commercial carriers) are kept to an absolute minimum by ensuring import paperwork is complete and correct, the correct commodity codes are applied on the commercial invoice, that tariffs and VAT are correctly allocated, providing customs clearance services, liaising with carriers at UK border control points etc. Additional information: https://procontract.due-north.com/
