Published requirement description

YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the supply of Drying Racks for use primarily in the education 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 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.

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

    Organisations must ensure that they are not in breach of any of the mandatory or discretionary exclusions contained in Regulation 57 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Please refer to the

    Tender Documentation/ Online Tender located on our E-Procurement system. The web

    address can be found under ‘Procurement Documents’ in ‘Communication’ section in this

    notice.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 45 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “YPO 001156 - The Supply of Drying Racks” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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