Planning Information
YPO are looking to start pre market engagement for the provision of batteries to be stocked in the YPO warehouse in Wakefield (WF2 0XE) for delivery to our customer base. All items will be stocked in YPOs warehouse and there will be no direct delivered to customer items. YPO are looking to learn more about the specification of batteries. YPO are looking to find the standard product ranges available in the market to allow us to build the product specifications for each proposed lot, for example pack sizes sold into the education market. YPO require providers that can offer full ranges of product to meet the needs of the customer base from early years through to secondary and higher education and also our non-education customers. If you are interested in this opportunity please email ryan.pygott@ypo.co.uk for more information. YPO reserves the right to not commit to advertising this tender if we do so wish. Should YPO wish to proceed further a formal procurement process will be followed in accordance with YPO's contract procedure rules and in line with the Procurement Act 2023 as relevant. Please note that any information is being sought without prejudice and without commitment.
