UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO), a sub-central government public authority based in Wakefield, United Kingdom, is currently planning a procurement process titled "Community & Care Technology Equipment & Associated Services." This procurement falls under the "goods" category and aims to engage suppliers within the health and social care sector, notably involving telecommunications equipment, repair, maintenance, and telephone-answering services. The planning stage is highlighted by the upcoming pre-tender market engagement scheduled for 2nd September 2025, as part of the preparatory activities. The procurement seeks to establish a framework agreement, with the official contract slated to run from 28th February 2026 to 27th February 2030, offering a substantial engagement period for prospective suppliers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health care technology and associated services to establish or expand their interactions with public sector clients, particularly local authorities and the NHS. Companies offering innovative solutions in telecommunications or possessing expertise in equipment maintenance within the health sector would be well-positioned to benefit from this agreement. By fostering early engagement through the planned supplier events, businesses can align their offerings with public sector needs and potentially influence future procurement specifications. This not only aids in securing contracts but also contributes to developing long-term partnerships within the public procurement arena.
