Description

YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the provision of Office Papers. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations primarily in the education market, which includes YPO's internal requirements.
This Framework is designed to meet the needs of YPO by establishing an agreement for Providers to deliver stock into YPO's distribution centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. As well as some items 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.
The Framework Agreement will cover the period from 11th August 2023 to 10th August 2024 with three options to extend for an additional 12 months. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of May 2024 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be 4 years, from 11th August 2023 to 10th August 2027 (subject to an annual review, incorporating price negotiations and KPI performance).
