## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by YPO, focusing on the supply of Threads, Needles, Yarns and Accessories primarily for the education sector. The framework agreement, titled "YPO - 000933 Threads, Needles and Ribbons", spans from 1st March 2019 to 28th February 2023, with a maximum estimated value between £500,000 and £750,000. The open procurement method commenced with the tender period ending on 21st January 2019, and is set in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The first decision regarding contract extension will occur by the end of October 2020, based on performance and market conditions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the textiles sector, particularly those specialising in natural fibre products, sewing needles, and various textile articles. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete due to the inclusive nature of the procurement process. The focus on education as the primary market makes this a favorable opportunity for suppliers capable of fulfilling educational needs in the textile field.
