Notice Description

YPO are looking to undertake preliminary market engagement to establish a compliant route to market for Registered Providers of Social Housing requiring provision of insurance and any related services under the Procurement Act 2023. This is the third iteration of the solution.

Planning Information

We require feedback from suppliers on the previous solution as well as potential new providers to: expand the scope, review Terms and Conditions, discuss market conditions, discuss potential routes to market, discuss Social Value within the sector, conditions of participation/membership and discuss mechanisms for call-offs in order to ensure the new iteration is fit-for-purpose for Registered Providers of Social Housing 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 James Maclean at insurance@ypo.co.uk to request the Request for Information (RFI) document and to arrange availability for a PME session. Only suppliers who will respond to PME and provide response to the RFI document will be invited to the session.
