In brief

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation has announced plans to buy furniture work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £12,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 January 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 83 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £12,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

YPO are looking to undertake preliminary market engagement to establish a compliant route to market for public sector organisations requiring Educational Tables under the Procurement Act 2023. This is a renewal of the previous framework 1113 (under the now redundant Public Contracts Regulations 2015). This framework will be for direct delivery from the supplier to YPOs customer. Including but not limted to classroom tables, exam desks and tilt tables.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
