## Summary

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) has completed a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "1311 - Folding Furniture," which primarily serves educational and other public sectors across the United Kingdom. This open procedure included several stages, beginning with planning, followed by tender and award stages, and was governed under UK legislative framework guidelines. Initially initiated in 2025 with planning engagements and tenders issued in December 2025, the procurement culminated with contract signings in April 2026. The framework agreement, effective from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2028, covers the supply of folding furniture, including tables and chairs, and offers the possibility of extension until April 2030.

This framework presents significant opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the furniture industry, with a focus on suppliers who can deliver furniture directly to end-users on behalf of YPO. Targeting public sector clients, including schools and local authorities, businesses within the UK that specialise in lightweight, high-quality, and sustainably-sourced furniture may particularly benefit. Among those successfully awarded contracts were GOPAK LIMITED, SPACERIGHT EUROPE LIMITED, and MORLEYS (BICESTER) LTD, highlighting opportunities for SMEs to partner with a public authority such as YPO in delivering goods under a structured rebate system, thereby encouraging competitive pricing and quality service standards.

## Notice

YPO have appointed suppliers onto a framework agreement for the supply of Folding Furniture Products. This Framework is designed to allow YPO to meet the needs of all public sector organisations by establishing an agreement for Providers to deliver to YPO customers 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 end customer. This is a catalogue Framework for the Supply of Folding Furniture where the products are delivered direct to customers either fully assembled or can be easily assembled/installed by customers themselves. The Framework is for use primarily in educational settings but will also appeal to any public spaces and private customers.
