As a member of the emergency services sector, it’s important to remain consistent and effective when making purchasing decisions. The government encourages a collaborative approach when it comes to procurement, not just to save money but also to standardise the items and services that are purchased. Spending wisely will help to drive lasting improvements across all police forces and the fire and rescue service.
YPO is a not-for-profit buying organisation set up to help the public sector buy better. We’ve got over 40 years of procurement experience under our belt and have a range of around 30,000 products which include office supplies and furniture as well as 80 frameworks to procure high value items like clothing and vehicles, and services such as HR, training and insurance.

What our clients say
“We would definitely recommend customers to use the Critical Incident Management and Public Safety Software and Systems DPS-1218, we found the DPS easy to use.
With the reduced timescales it helped really speed up our procurement process and this was particularly important when delivering a large project within a tight timeline.
The YPO team were extremely helpful and were on hand with any queries and assistance throughout the process.
This compliant route will allow customers to access the solution they need, backed up by a very professional and knowledgeable team, I would not hesitate to recommend to any interested parties.”
