Published requirement description

YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the

provision of Light Catering Equipment. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all

public sector organisations which includes YPO’s internal requirements through the

following methods:

Stock: By establishing an agreement for Providers to deliver stock into YPO’s distribution

centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Direct: 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.

Contractual for Lot 2: By establishing an agreement where the end customer will place

orders directly with the Provider on a “contract” basis and the Provider will deliver direct to

the end customer on an agreed basis.

  • Recurrence: There is a possibility that this framework will be subject to renewal after 3.5 years from the commencement date.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “YPO - 001091 Light Catering Equipment” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
