Head over to The Access Group's latest blog here: YPO frameworks - How do they work and what are the benefits for the public sector.
Reduced timescales – customers do not need to run a full OJEU procurement if procuring via the framework agreement.All you need to do is identify your service requirements, present them to the provider and award a contract.
Direct award – being a single-supplier framework, customers can award a contract without the need to undertake any further competition/procurement exercise.
Ease of use – The framework is very simple to use.The framework terms and conditions have already been agreed with the provider, but there is also the flexibility to vary elements to ensure it meets your needs.There for when awarding contracts, customers have the option to use YPO’s terms and conditions or use their own.
Flexible pricing – the cost of the service is based on individual customer requirements and a range of payment options are also available and can be agreed between supplier/provider and customer.
Assured supplier standards – suppliers/providers are ‘pre-qualified’ as to their general suitability.
Quality – running a truly transparent procurement and commissioning process, along with relationship management, allows the best quality providers to be awarded more contracts and increases overall market quality.
Value – a wider range of suppliers/providers means that pricing of services is fair and offers value for money for the individual purchase.Managing payments (if needed) through the same system also ensure payments are only made for service delivered and billing errors are eradicated.
Variety of spend – the framework can be used for different service streams and categories of spend i.e. placements, accommodation, and transport.
Visibility – data from across the service area is pulled together into a single system giving full visibility over all activity via real-time interactive reporting.
