Published requirement description

YPO were looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the supply of

Felts and Fabrics for use primarily in the education market. The 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. However, for some products within

the scope of this contract, providers are required to deliver to YPO customers 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.

  • Recurrence: There is a possibility that this framework will be renewed after 3.5 years from the commencement date.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “YPO - 000974 Felts and Fabrics” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
