## Summary

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is currently managing a tender process for a framework agreement titled “Software Application Solutions 2”. This initiative aims to provide a comprehensive range of software applications, including off-the-shelf and bespoke solutions, to support UK public sector organisations. The process, being managed under an open procedure, involves 15 lots, each catering to different facets of software application services. The procurement is in the tender stage, with key deadlines including an enquiry closure on 5th June 2026, a tender closure on 10th July 2026, and the award process expected to conclude by 4th December 2026. The framework, representing an estimated gross value of £1.2 billion, is categorised primarily under services with additional relevance to goods. Suppliers can partake through an Award Without Competition or a Competitive Selection Process, facilitated by direct orders from the end customers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering innovative, scalable, and sector-specific applications. From SMEs to larger enterprises, companies with expertise in software packaging, development, consultancy, and services related to IT infrastructure stand to benefit. The framework allows suppliers to engage with various public sector bodies, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and diversified revenue streams. With an emphasis on value through cost, quality, and social value criteria, businesses that excel in these areas and offer competitive pricing schemes are well-positioned to succeed in this procurement process.

## Notice

YPO is looking to establish a Framework for the provision of a comprehensive range of Software Application Solutions to support UK public sector organisations and replaces the previous YPO agreement 1095. This framework is for the provision of a new solution, amendment, or upgrade of an existing solution, from a single boxed order through to the full deployment of a software solution and the associated ancillary services. This may include commercial off the shelf software (COTS), open-source software, software licenses or niche and bespoke software. Where required, hosting services may be provided by the Supplier, along with the monitoring and management of the entire solution and can be delivered as a subscription-based Software as a Service model. The framework will incorporate 15 Lots. Goods may be purchased under each Lot, where they are relevant and a requirement to the usage of the overall purchased software requirements. Each Lot has been designed to provide a full end-to-end digital solution, within the category area detailed in the Lot Title and will incorporate AI functionalities. The end customer will place orders directly with the Supplier following an Award Without Competition or Competitive Selection Process on a "contract" basis whereby the Supplier will deliver direct to the end customer on an agreed basis. Invoices and payments are dealt with directly between the end customer and the Supplier.
