Notice Description

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.

Lot Information

Lot 1

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.

Options: The Contract will cover the period from 07/02/2024 to 06/02/2027 with two options to extend for an additional 24 months. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of May 2026 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be 7 years, from 07/02/2024 to 06/02/2031 (subject to an annual review, incorporating price negotiations and KPI performance).

Renewal: There is a possibility that this contract will be renewed after 6.5 years from the commencement date.
