Description

YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the supply of Outdoor Furniture for use primarily in the education and local authority market. 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 (drop shipment) 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. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations.

Renewal Options

There is a possibility that this framework will be renewed after 3.5 years from the commencement date. The Framework Agreement will cover the period from 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2023 with two options to extend for an additional 12 months. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of May 2023 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO’s contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be 4 years, from 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2025 (subject to an annual review, incorporating price negotiations and KPI performance).
