YPO has a requirement for a wide range of competitively priced products made available though a centralised, Digital Marketplace, open to YPO and its permissible users, set out in the following link https://www.ypo.co.uk/about/customers/ojeu-permissible-users.aspx and subject to any qualifications set out in the agreement between YPO and the awarded supplier.
This framework will be for the provision of a wide scope of supplies to be provided through a single, easy to access digital marketplace open to YPO's permissible users. This includes but is not limited to office supplies; classroom, school, art supplies and materials; home kitchen, food and grocery; books; musical instruments; audio visual and electronics; higher education scientific equipment and lab supplies; clothing; animal supplies, equipment and food.
Example categorisations of products that could be purchased through the digital marketplace can be found at the following web address: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/site-directory
The value of products to be purchased through the Framework will not exceed the maximum value set out in this notice.
The requirement is for a single provider framework for a 3 year term with a possible further 1 year extension period.
In accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, YPO may award public contracts by a negotiated procedure without prior publication where the supplies or services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator, because competition is absent for technical reasons.
Following the publication of a PIN Reference 2018/S 101-230950, YPO only received one compliant expression of interest.
The proposed contractor, being an established mature B2B marketplace provider with a range offering of over 1 000 000 products from thousands of sources, is both the only contractor capable of achieving the desired economies of scale required to bring all spend within one portal to generate significant cost benefits to YPO's permissible users and the only viable contractor currently operating in the market for the products and service requirement requested.
