Early Years Furniture
Framework ceiling £20,000,000 — the most the agreement may spend across all suppliers and call-offs, not a contract value
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation publishes Furniture & Furnishings work continuously — 18 notices, roughly one every 70 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
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 Furniture.
This framework will be for direct delivery from the supplier to our customer base.
