Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) engaged a consultant technical project manager to support its customer relationship management (CRM) project. The requirement is for project-management services with a technical focus, rather than software or equipment supply. The work supports YPO’s own CRM project and is categorised as IT consulting services. Delivery is in Wakefield, Yorkshire. The procurement covered one requirement and the awarded work was supplied by MODIS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, trading as Akkodis. This is relevant to consultancies and contractors that provide experienced technical project managers for CRM implementations and can support a public-sector buyer’s project team. The procurement’s outcome indicates demand for specialist project-management support around a defined CRM programme, rather than a broad technology-services engagement.

YPO awarded the contract directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement is complete, the award is active and the contract is active. MODIS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 18 May 2026 and runs from 25 May to 20 November 2026. Its value is £91,000 excluding VAT and £109,200 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the technical project manager supporting the CRM project; no lot-by-lot award split applies. The published procurement details provide no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the stated route was a direct award rather than a competitive assessment. The contract covers project-management services, with delivery in Wakefield.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows YPO’s use of external technical project-management expertise to support a CRM project. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate hands-on experience managing technology projects and the ability to work closely with a buyer’s internal team on CRM delivery. Relevant strengths would include coordinating technical and business stakeholders, controlling plans and dependencies, tracking delivery risks, and communicating progress clearly. The contract is a focused consultancy assignment rather than a large systems-supply programme, so suppliers should be able to provide an appropriately experienced project manager for a defined project need. YPO used a direct, below-threshold route for this purchase; understanding the buyer’s CRM needs and building a relevant relationship may therefore matter alongside technical capability.
