UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) procured a framework for trikes, scooters and ride-on products for the early-years market. The products are intended for nurseries, primary schools, playgroups and childminders, and are supplied directly to YPO’s public-sector customers. The requirement is for high-quality products in this category, covering the customer base across the United Kingdom. It renews YPO’s previous framework and lets participating public-sector organisations choose products that meet their specifications and select a supplier accordingly. This is a goods procurement for early-years mobility and play equipment, rather than a works or service contract.

The procurement is complete: YPO ran an open procedure and selected three framework suppliers—Rabo Tricycles A/S, Polydron UK Limited and Profile Education Limited. The award was made on 11 September 2026 and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The framework runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Its estimated value is £2 million excluding VAT (£2.4 million including VAT). One lot was evaluated on price (40%) and quality (60%), comprising product sourcing and quality assurance, delivery and customer service, and social value and sustainability. Bidders also needed to meet economic and technical selection criteria. The framework permits up to three suppliers, with customers choosing the product and supplier that meet their requirements. A 4% award-linked rebate applies, made up of a 3% marketing rebate and a 1% retrospective rebate.

This award shows recurring public-sector demand through YPO for trikes, scooters and ride-on products used by early-years settings and schools. Credible suppliers need a suitable range of products, dependable sourcing and quality assurance, and the capacity to deliver directly to customers across the United Kingdom. Strong delivery performance, adequate stockholding, responsive handling of enquiries and complaints, and evidence of social value and sustainability are relevant competitive strengths. Price mattered, but quality accounted for the larger share of the evaluation, so suppliers need to demonstrate both product and service capability alongside competitive pricing. Three suppliers were selected, including small and medium-sized businesses, showing that the framework was not limited to large businesses. The route uses a framework without reopening competition; customers choose a supplier whose product meets their specification.}
