Opportunity overview

Under the Procurement Act 2023, YPO are looking to undertake preliminary market engagement to establish a compliant route to market for public sector organisations specifically for Early Years establishments requiring products under the scope of Early Years Construction. This framework will be for stock delivery into our warehouse, and direct delivery from the supplier to our customer base. This is a renewal of the previous framework 001144 (under the now redundant Public Contracts Regulations 2015). The aim of this framework is to provide high quality products for the nursery and early years market, including but not limited to; primary schools, public and private nurseries, playgroups and childminders. YPO has pre-prepared a document for any supplier who may be interested in this opportunity. The purpose of this document is for suppliers to provide information regarding standard specifications which are available to the market, and to understand the capabilities of the supply base. Suppliers are encouraged to provide item/range description, pack size, dimensions, materials, age range/suitability, testing standards, imagery and website links for any products that they deem suitable under the scope of this tender. YPO reserves the right to not commit to advertising this tender if we do so wish. Should YPO wish to proceed further a formal procurement process will be followed in accordance with YPO’s contract procedure rules and in line with the Procurement Act 2023 as relevant. Please note that any information is being sought without prejudice and without commitment. Next Steps: Interested organisations are invited to participate in this preliminary market engagement exercise. The pre-engagement period will be from 27/08/2026 to 24/09/2026. Please contact Lauren Howram at lauren.howram@ypo.co.uk for the documentation and any further information.
