## Summary

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is currently in the planning stage for a tender related to the procurement of Educational Tables, located in Wakefield, United Kingdom. Indicated by the industry category of school furniture (CPV code: 39160000), the process is still in the initial phase, focusing on the preliminary market engagement to assess a suitable approach under the Procurement Act 2023. The pre-engagement period is scheduled from 5th June to 19th June 2026, with Amiee Price as the contact point for interested suppliers. This engagement aims to review the current framework, explore innovations, and establish future procurement conditions with a prospective contract period starting on 1st January 2027 and potentially extending until 31st December 2030.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, given its framework agreement nature and substantial contract value of £12 million (gross £14.4 million). Suitable businesses would likely be those involved in the production and supply of classroom equipment, such as classroom tables, exam desks, and tilt tables, providing direct delivery to YPO’s customers. Companies with innovative solutions and competitive pricing structures could gain a foothold in the educational furniture market through this procurement process. The market engagement phase offers a critical period for businesses to engage with YPO and position themselves as potential suppliers within an evolving public sector framework.
