Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation · Local or regional public body

In brief

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation is looking for suppliers for medical supplies and care work (UK-wide).

It is a framework worth up to £600,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 22 March 2027.

It is split into 12 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

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

Bids close at midday, Wednesday 4 November 2026.
