What is being bought8 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionYPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the supply of Domestic Appliances for use primarily in the education market and social housing. 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 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.
