Electricity and Ancillary Services (1337)

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation · Local or regional public body

In brief

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation has announced plans to buy IT and software and financial services 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 £3,000,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 April 2031.

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 £3,000,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

YPO is embarking on preliminary market engagement to shape a compliant and effective route to market for the procurement of Electricity and Ancillary Services across all public sector bodies, in alignment with the Procurement Act 2023. This initiative represents the fourth evolution of the framework, building on the foundations of previous iterations established under the now superseded Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The objective is clear: to deliver a streamlined solution that ensures public sector organisations have access to a high-quality, reliable electricity retailer. By engaging early with the market, YPO seeks to foster innovation, encourage competition, and secure best value, while maintaining full compliance with the latest legislative requirements. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a solution that not only complies with the legislative framework for public sector procurement but also drives sustainability, efficiency, and excellence in service delivery for the public sector.

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.
