UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation is procuring a UK-wide framework for community and healthcare equipment and associated services for public sector contracting authorities. The scope is divided into 12 lots: integrated community equipment services; bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and dining, living, mobility, multi-sensory, paediatric and seating equipment; fully managed services for equipment supplied through the equipment lots; service and maintenance for equipment outside its manufacturer warranty; and technology-enabled care products, software and managed services. Services may include delivery, collection, installation, training, assessments, advice, repair, maintenance, refurbishment, recycling, disposal, storage, customer support and supply-chain management. Orders will be placed by participating public bodies, with suppliers delivering directly to end customers. The main category is goods, with associated services. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a framework agreement, with call-offs either awarded without competition or through a competitive selection process, depending on the lot and customer requirement. Enquiries had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 17:00, and tender responses by 4 November 2026 at 12:00. The framework contract period is 22 March 2027 to 21 March 2031, with award decisions due by 11 February 2027 at 23:59. The stated tender value is £600,000,000 excluding VAT (£720,000,000 including VAT). Evaluation is quality 50%, cost 30%, and social value and sustainability 20%, including environmental initiatives and modern slavery. A successful supplier pays YPO 1% of award value on business transacted under the framework.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors, managed-service providers, repair and maintenance specialists, healthcare technology businesses and organisations able to combine products with direct customer support. Relevant capabilities include supplying community-care equipment at scale, maintaining product quality and pricing integrity, managing delivery and customer service, and operating reliable collection, installation, storage, repair, refurbishment and recycling arrangements. Suppliers offering integrated community equipment services may also need capacity for training, equipment demonstrations, health and social-care assessments, advice, support and stakeholder engagement. Technology suppliers should be able to provide software, technology-enabled care solutions, managed services, strategic partnership and supply-chain development. Applicants for the fully managed service lot must provide a full suite of products across the community equipment lots. Evaluation rewards quality, cost, social value, sustainability and modern-slavery controls.
