All furniture meets relevant safety, strength and stability leglisation and in the majority of cases is provided with a full manufacturer's guarantee.
Community Playthings
Community Playthings is one of the best-selling furniture ranges for Early Years settings. Customers choose Community Playthings furniture time after time for its high quality, natural wood durability and safety features.
YPO is delighted to offer our customers an exclusive opportunity to buy Community Playthings products direct from our 2010 catalogues. This innovative arrangement has been agreed in response to customer demand. It allows our customers to continue to benefit from the convenience of our 'one stop shop' by ordering through YPO, enjoying easier purchasing and reduced transaction costs as a result.
If you prefer, you can buy direct from Community Playthings via our contract and enjoy a 2% discount. See page 315 of our 2010 Furniture catalogue or page 969 of our 2010 Big Book for more details.
Furniture design and project management
YPO has vast experience designing libraries, laboratories, DT, ICT, food technology and catering areas as well as outdoor areas, and offers a full furniture design and procurement service which includes:
- Survey and CAD design
- Advice on current legislation and regulations
- Supervision of manufacturing and installation
- Ensuring programmes are on schedule and attending meetings on your behalf
- Coordinating deliveries and labour
- Providing a regular site presence ensuring defects or problems are remedied
As a key supplier to local government, Yorkshire Purchasing's volume of business on fitted furniture is sufficiently large to fall within EC Public Procurement Directives. This, coupled with our ability to obtain and help you evaluate three quotations, provides you with the added reassurance that you are in compliance with all relevant procurement procedures and obligations.
Soft furnishings
Our specialist soft furnishings unit can also help with the supply and installation of soft furnishings, floor coverings, curtains, blinds and tracks. To arrange your free estimate simply call us and we will arrange for a representative to visit your establishment. In addition to providing you with samples, our site survey will take into account any work needed to complete your installation such as removal of existing materials and preparation for floorings, tracks and battens for curtains. Most work is completed within 2 to 3 weeks of ordering.
