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.
