Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) has engaged in a procurement process for the supply of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions, tailored both for internal use and the wider public sector. The primary focus is on two lots: the first for a Single CRM Solution to meet YPO’s internal needs, estimated at a value of up to £4,800,000 over a potential ten-year period, and the second for a Framework Agreement that spans the wider public sector, reaching an estimated value of £60,000,000 over four years. The procurement follows a competitive flexible procedure, recently culminating with contracts awarded to various suppliers. The process was managed through selective methods, ensuring strategic fit with YPO and its partner NEPO (North East Procurement Organisation), headquartered in Wakefield, UK (region UKE45). Key milestones include contract awards dated from May 2026, with the framework covering March 2026 to 2030, subject to renewals and performance reviews.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers in the software development and IT services sectors, who can leverage this framework to tap into extensive public sector markets. SMEs have a viable path to competitive participation, given the framework's emphasis on diversified supplier engagement. Companies providing CRM software development, consulting, and integrating advanced technologies will find this framework advantageous. With various awarded contracts, businesses can engage with multiple public authorities, ensuring a broad spectrum of potential clients and order volumes throughout the framework's lifespan. The scale and scope of this procurement open doors for firms aiming to expand their footprint in the public sector IT solutions space.
