Health and Social Care Equipment and Services - 1061

YPO’s framework agreements are established to allow customers to purchase goods, works or services from suppliers/providers via either direct award or further competition.

• Lot 1 – Access to a sole provider and supply chain which allows you to choose your own equipment flexibly via a managed service, pricing schedule for most common equipment types and the opportunity to call off associated services if required.
• Lot 2 – Confirmed pricing schedules for service and maintenance to allow direct award or option to undertake a further competition if required.
• Lot 2 - Providers have been awarded geographically and you can directly call off from the framework or have the option to undertake a further competition exercise.
• Pre-defined specifications for both lots, option to amend to individual customer requirement.
• Customers can choose to specify or provide amended call-off terms and conditions to those contained within the original framework agreement, as necessary to meet their own requirements.
• Customers may wish to undertake a multi–lot call-off via direct award under the framework, provided the same provider(s) are appointed to each lot. Where this is the case, a direct award can be made to a provider if the participating customer can demonstrate the selected provider offers the most economically advantageous offer for both lots.
• Document templates available for further competition, call-off order form, confirmation of award.
• YPO can fully manage your further competition (call-off ) if required.
• Reduced timescales – customers do not need to run a full OJEU procurement if procuring via the framework agreement.
• Assured supplier standards – providers are ‘pre-qualified’ as to their general suitability.
• Aggregation of spend – customers will receive the benefits of the aggregated spend volume and increased leverage in the market.
