• YPO can fully manage the customers further competition (call-off) process if required.
• Reduced timescales – customers do not need to run a full procurement if procuring via the framework agreement.
• Assured supplier standards – suppliers/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.
• Pre-defined terms and conditions – when awarding contracts customers have the option to use YPO’s standard framework agreement terms and conditions as established or use their own terms and conditions.
