Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO), a sub-central government public authority based in Wakefield, UK, has successfully executed the "YPO 001283 Outdoor Furniture" tender. This procurement initiative, employing an open procedure, focused on creating a Framework Agreement for outdoor furniture, primarily targeting the education market and local authority sectors, as well as allowing private customers to purchase the furniture. The process has reached the contract award stage, following a competitive tendering procedure. The key contracts, each estimated at a gross value of GBP 4,800,000, commenced on 1st April 2026 and are slated to run until 31st March 2028, with an option to extend by two further years until 31st March 2030, subject to annual reviews and performance assessments.
