Introducing the Pro5
Pro5 are five of the largest public sector professional buying organisations in the UK with a combined purchasing power in excess of £2 billion per annum.
Working together the Pro5 use their extensive buying power to help local authorities in England & Wales:
get the best value deals in key markets on commonly purchased goods and services
deliver savings and therefore contribute to local efficiency targets.
save time and effort by accessing pre-negotiated compliant procurement arrangements
We are also working towards accreditation with the Office of Government Commerce’s pan-government collaboration strategy for all frameworks that carry the Pro5 framework agreement mark.

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO)
Pro5 Framework agreements
The Pro5 are working together to put in place national framework agreements that ensure you get the best value on commonly purchased goods and services.
Over time the Pro5 will extend the number of nationally available frameworks so that more of these great deals will be accessible to local authorities across England & Wales.
Where you see frameworks with the Pro5 logo you can rest assured that the framework represents the best value national deal available through the Pro5.
Those frameworks which do not carry the Pro5 logo still offer excellent value for money but may not be available nationally. Please check with the relevant Pro5 member offering the framework for details.
