## Summary

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation bought procurement consultancy services to support its procurement services department and wider organisation. The requirement covered commercial and procurement advice, including guidance on strategy, aims and targets, and practical support to help deliver them. The work falls within procurement consultancy services (CPV 79418000) and was for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a professional services requirement suited to consultancies that advise public-sector procurement teams, shape commercial strategies and provide hands-on support with implementation. The buyer is Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation, based in Wakefield. The requirement was structured as a call-off from the YPO Framework 1141, so it demonstrates demand for this type of specialist support through an established framework route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 April 2026. Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, trading as Consultancy+, was selected as supplier. The award value was £12,350.10 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract ran from 5 May 2026 to 11 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 21 April 2026 at 23:00. The requirement was categorised as services and was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award was active, and the contract period matched the period stated for the tender. The stated basis was the provision of procurement and commercial consultancy support under the framework call-off arrangement.

This award shows that Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation uses external specialists for targeted procurement and commercial support rather than only large transformation programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in public procurement, commercial strategy and procurement planning, together with the ability to advise a procurement department and support delivery across a wider organisation. Useful capability would include translating organisational aims into practical procurement strategies, defining measurable targets and providing responsive advice as requirements develop. Experience of working with public-sector buyers and operating through framework call-offs would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, indicating that a focused specialist consultancy could be relevant alongside larger recruitment or professional-services businesses.
