Summary of the contracting process

The buying organisation, YPO, situated at Wakefield, England, is actively seeking providers for its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) focused on Critical Incident Management and Public Safety Software and Systems. This procurement falls under the "Command, control, communication, and computer systems" category and will serve needs across the public sector. YPO's internal requirements, as well as those of its subsidiary companies, are included. The procurement method adopted is a selective, restricted procedure, allowing suppliers to apply throughout the DPS duration, initially covering from 20th January 2024 to 19th January 2028. The contract period offers two optional extensions of three years each, making the maximum potential end date 19th January 2034, subject to annual reviews including price negotiations and KPI performance assessments. The tender stage is currently active, providing ample time for interested parties to engage until the end of the tender period on 19th January 2034.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses, especially those specialising in software and systems related to public safety and critical incident management, to expand their reach within the public sector. A budget allocation of up to £500 million implies significant business potential, and the DPS structure allows flexibility for businesses to join at any point in the contract term. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or those part of the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors are particularly encouraged to participate. The focus on dynamic system offerings aligns well with innovative companies looking to leverage technology for public safety solutions. Businesses are advised to engage with YPO via their e-tendering portal for access to procurement documents and submit their bids through the detailed online process.
