## Summary

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the design, installation, supply, and servicing of commercial catering equipment. The industry category of this tender includes goods and services related to food-preparation equipment, industrial kitchen equipment, and maintenance services for catering facilities, among others. The procurement activity is focused in the United Kingdom, particularly from their head office in Wakefield, where a supplier conference is scheduled to be held on 7th May 2025. Interested suppliers are invited to register by 5pm on 7th April 2025, and the actual contract period is expected to commence on 7th September 2025, and will run until 6th September 2029. This procurement process will follow the YPO's contract procedure rules and align with the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the commercial catering equipment sector, including SMEs and VCSEs, to engage with a major public authority. Companies specialising in kitchen design, installation, supply of equipment, and maintenance services are particularly well-suited for this tender. The upcoming supplier conference serves as an excellent initial touchpoint for businesses to understand the procurement requirements, ask relevant questions, and network with YPO representatives and other industry participants. Such engagements and the potential framework agreement can offer substantial business growth and long-term contract stability for the successful participants.

## Notice

YPO wishes to procure the design, installation, supply and servicing of commercial catering equipment solution in 2025 and start the tender process within the next 2-3 months. Background information: customers may look for different aspects of a commercial catering requirement from the design and layout of a new kitchen, installation or just supply of goods as well as maintenance of goods. Customers will primarily be Public sector markets.

### Planning Information

YPO would like to invite all interested providers to a Supplier Conference on site at YPO's head office in Wakefield on the 7th May. The conference's aim is to give all suppliers an opportunity to ask tender and requirement related questions in an open forum and to familiarise themselves as well as sharing best practice, market conditions, innovation, customer insight, the new tender structure and the new Public Procurement Act.
As this conference is being held in person at YPO's head office we do have a limited capacity of 60 people so please note this is limited to one person per organisation. The invite is on a first come, first served basis and once YPO reach the maximum capacity we will take all details of any further requests to join and will send out an opportunity for Suppliers to submit queries and questions beforehand. YPO will then answer them along with any other questions we receive and will send responses out with a copy of the slides from the day.
To register your interest in the webinar please contact Kayley Fox at wfm@ypo.co.uk to book your registration. Registration will close at 5pm on the 7th April 2025 and no further bookings will be accepted. Please note YPO reserve the right to cancel the webinar if insufficient interest is received.
YPO will publish slides from the conference and minutes from the event through our online tendering portal.
YPO reserves the right to not commit to advertising this tender if we do so wish. Should YPO wish to proceed further a formal procurement process will be followed in accordance with YPO's contract procedure rules and in line with the Procurement Act 2023 as relevant. Please note that any information is being sought without prejudice and without commitment.
