Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by YPO involves the establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Critical Incident Management and Public Safety Software and Systems, targeted at public sector organisations, including YPO and its subsidiaries. The tender is classified under the Command, Control, Communication, and Computer Systems industry category, with procurement primarily of goods. Located in Wakefield, United Kingdom, YPO acts as the contracting authority. Currently in the stage of tender update as of 6th August 2025, the DPS is set to commence on 12th February 2024 and end by 24th February 2029. This selective procurement method follows a restricted procedure, allowing competitive engagement through a dynamic system that remains open for participation by qualified suppliers throughout its duration.

This opportunity provides substantial prospects for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those offering Command, Control, and Communication systems. The DPS format encourages a diverse range of suppliers to participate, presenting an avenue for growth by engaging in contracts that cater to critical incident management and public safety needs. Companies with capabilities in developing both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions and bespoke software, especially those able to service the unique demands of public safety and place management, are well-suited to compete. The contract allows flexible engagement over its term, offering potential for ongoing business expansion as new requirements and technologies emerge within the sector.
