UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is organising a procurement process for the acquisition of emergency response and rescue equipment and services for public sector organisations, under the Procurement Act 2023. This initiative is targeted at the security, firefighting, police, and defence equipment sector, focusing on enhancing the existing solutions and responding effectively to emergencies. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with preliminary market engagement sessions scheduled between 7 April and 2 May 2025, allowing suppliers to provide feedback and discuss various elements pertinent to the project. The sessions will be held remotely or in-person as per supplier availability, with the goal of fitting the new iteration purposefully for public sector usage from June 2026 to May 2034.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security and emergency response equipment to expand their market reach and establish long-term relationships with public sector clients. With an estimated project value of up to £48 million, firms capable of delivering high-quality products and services in this domain will find the framework agreement highly advantageous. Companies with expertise in cutting-edge emergency response solutions, competitive pricing strategies, and robust delivery mechanisms are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement process, supporting YPO's aim to deliver practical, impactful resources for public emergencies.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Emergency Response and Rescue Equipment and Services

Notice Description

YPO are looking to undertake preliminary market engagement to establish a compliant route to market for public sector organisations requiring Emergency Response and Rescue Equipment and Services under the Procurement Act 2023. This is the third iteration of the previous DPS 001110 (under the now redundant Public Contracts Regulations 2015). The aim of the solution is to provide access to high-quality products and services for public sector organisations.

Planning Information

YPO intends to hold pre-engagement sessions between 7 April - 2 May, 2025. We require feedback from suppliers on the previous solution as well as potential new products and services supporting the event of pre and post emergency response to expand the scope, review Terms and Conditions, discuss market conditions, discuss price element, review options for delivery of Social Value, discuss potential routes to the market and discuss mechanisms for call-offs in order to ensure the new iteration is fit-for-purpose for public sector customers to call off. Sessions will take place remotely (via Microsoft Teams) or in-person, depending on the availability and capacity of the supplier. Please contact Laura Megson at laura.megson@ypo.co.uk to request further information and to arrange availability for a PME session.
