## Summary

The YPO (Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation) is currently engaged in the award stage of the procurement process for a Framework Agreement titled "YPO - 000868 Workwear." This contract, located in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, falls under the industry category of Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories, with supplementary classifications in security and defence equipment. The contract value is set at £5 million, with a minimum value of £1 million, covering a period from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2020, with options to extend up to a maximum of four years. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender process concluded on 17th May 2018.

This Framework Agreement presents significant opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises) looking to expand their market reach, particularly those specialising in workwear and personal protective equipment (PPE) for the education sector. Businesses with capacity to supply goods directly to end customers via YPO’s distribution framework, whether on a stock or direct delivery basis, will find this a suitable avenue for engagement. Companies like clothing manufacturers, safety equipment suppliers, and those focused on education-specific outfitting should consider competing for this promising contract.

## Notice

YPO are looking for providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the supply of Workwear & PPE for use primarily in the education market. This Framework is designed to meet the needs of YPO by establishing an agreement for providers to deliver stock into YPO's distribution centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and also on a direct basis whereby the end customer places the order with YPO and YPO places the order with the provider but the provider delivers direct to the customer and invoices YPO. The Framework Agreement will cover the period from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2020 with 2 options to extend for an additional 12 months. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of January 2020 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be 4 years, from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2022
