- Description
- YPO is seeking expressions of interest from providers of paper hygiene products, including toilet roll, hand towels, dispensers, tissues and towel rolls (e.g., couch rolls), with a view to re‑establishing a comprehensive framework agreement for the supply of these items to the UK public sector, including schools, local authorities, and other public‑sector organisations.
YPO is looking to engage with suppliers who can support a broad range of solutions, including:
Established branded paper hygiene products
Proprietary dispensing systems widely used across the public sector
Development, manufacture and supply of YPO own‑brand (private label) products
Flexible fulfilment models, including warehouse delivery, direct‑to‑site delivery, and hybrid approaches
YPO anticipates a multi‑lot structure and does not require suppliers to deliver across all elements. Suppliers may express interest in one or more areas aligned to their capability and strategic focus.
As part of the expression of interest, suppliers are invited to provide a brief summary covering:
Company capability and product offering
Market insight, including trends, supply chain considerations, innovation, sustainability developments, and pricing pressures
Views on potential framework structure, including lotting, delivery models, and opportunities for efficiency
Social value commitments, aligned to UK public‑sector priorities such as sustainability, carbon reduction, community impact, employment and skills
Relevant certifications and standards, such as FSC/PEFC, ISO accreditations, environmental credentials, and product compliance
Insurance levels, including public liability, product liability, and any other relevant cover
Any additional information that may support YPO’s understanding of your organisation’s capability, capacity, and alignment to public‑sector needs
Following receipt of expressions of interest, YPO will arrange informal Microsoft Teams engagement sessions to discuss capability, market insight, and potential framework structure in more detail.
YPO reserves the right not to proceed to advertise or procure this requirement should it choose not to do so.
Should YPO wish to proceed further, a formal procurement process will be undertaken in accordance with YPO’s Contract Procedure Rules and, where relevant, the Procurement Act 2023.
Please note that all information is being sought without prejudice and without commitment.
The deadline for expressions of interest is 5th June.
Please submit your response via email to wfm@ypo.co.uk.
