Lot 1: Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is a national public sector buying organisation delivering an array of frameworks to the public sector. YPO are currently developing a nationwide framework for the provision of specialist vehicles within the public sector, which will replace YPO’s existing framework for specialist vehicles (960), due to expire in October 2023. A framework can be considered as a procurement tool which compliantly connects suppliers with public sector organisations. There is no guarantee of work by virtue of being a supplier to a framework, however being an appointed supplier increases opportunities within the public sector. YPO are keen to engage with suppliers in the market to support the development of our specialist vehicles framework and understand the importance of engaging with both users of the framework (public sector organisations) and suppliers to ensure the next iteration meets current and future market needs. In particular, YPO would like to receive feedback from customers and suppliers in respect of the following services: • Public sector customers including but not limited to local authority, emergency services, housing associations. • Providers of vehicles to the market • Technology solutions • Any services considered additional to the above Please note, the above list is not exhaustive and we welcome feedback in respect of services relevant to the public sector, but not listed above. YPO are therefore looking for suppliers who would be interested in completing a short questionnaire and/or having a conversation with us. Please register your interest by contacting us at fleet@ypo.co.uk and we will share a copy of our Request for Information (RFI) document for your review and complete. Please note that this information is being sought without prejudice and without commitment. Should YPO decide to take this project further, the completion of an RFI will not be part of that process nor will the information provided be used to determine the outcome of that process. Should YPO wish to proceed with any supplier, a formal procurement process will be followed in accordance with YPO’s contract procedure rules and relevant procurement regulations.
