Published requirement description

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

Disposable Catering for use primarily in the education market. This Framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations which includes YPO’s internal requirements by establishing an agreement for Providers to deliver stock both into YPO’s distribution centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and 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. YPO also wish to establish 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 001191 - Disposable Catering” 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.
