Summary of the contracting process

YPO is currently updating the tender process for its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) concerning Critical Incident Management and Public Safety Software and Systems. The system aims to serve public sector organisations, including YPO's own divisions, facilitating the provision of goods related to command, control, communication, and computer systems. This process is at the tender stage, having begun on 20th April 2026, and is set to commence on 13th February 2024, concluding on 12th February 2029, offering a potential extension by one year. Notice amendments include updated contact details and access portals, with the shift from 'Price' to 'Cost' in the award criteria for bids, maintaining a 30% weighting. The contracting authority, located in Wakefield, United Kingdom, operates under a legal basis compliant with Directive 2014/24/EU.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in public safety software and systems. Providers equipped with robust command and control solutions or bespoke software can leverage these prospects to address the dynamic needs of public sector organisations. The nature of the DPS offers flexibility, as it supports the inclusion of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products as well as open-source and niche software solutions, promising a comprehensive service offering to multiple public sector entities. The lower emphasis on price indicates a focus on quality and sustainability criteria, making this tender particularly attractive for innovative firms prioritising high-quality deliverables and sustainable practices within the United Kingdom's public sector framework.
