Disposable Catering Solutions - 1191

Our dedicated team is here to support you with the provision of disposable catering supplies and eco-friendly alternatives, ensuring convenient procurement and compliance with legal standards. This framework provides customers with an easy route to market in a variety of relevant supplies.



disposable cups and plates

Details

We supply a huge range of catering disposables including: takeaway cups, food packaging, disposable tableware and napkins; the list is endless. We also understand the importance for eco-friendly products and have a dedicated range of sustainable alternatives. So whatever your green or catering agenda – be it compostable packaging, disposables with a high recycled content or carry out boxes that are a little different to the norm - this framework can offer you a solution. 

 

This framework provides customers with a route to market for the supply of catering disposables, meaning customers do not need to publish their requirements by OJEU or pre-qualify suppliers/providers in order to procure these products and services from them.

 

Through the framework, customers can procure a wide range of catering disposables. The contract can be accessed for stock supply through the YPO catalogues and further competition.

Period:
31 October 2023 - 30 October 2025

  • Reduced timescales Customers don’t need to run a full OJEU procurement through this framework as it has already been done by YPO. All you need to do is identify your requirements, present them to the market and award a contract. This also benefits suppliers as they only need to complete OJEU procurement.

  • Ease of useSimple to use with expert advice available from YPO.

  • Excellent choice of supplier - more details can be found on the supplier tab or the user guide

  • Legality - A fully legal framework in line with EU regulations

  • Assured supplier standards - Providers are ‘pre-qualified’ as to their general suitability, which means when buying services from them, customers are assured they can meet specified requirements

  • Aggregation of spend - customers will receive the benefits of an aggregated volume of spend and the benefits associated with an increased leverage on the market

  • Pre-defined terms and conditions - terms and conditions of the contract have already been established, signed and accepted by suppliers.
