Can the weighting criteria be amended to suit my requirements?
The individual application of weightings will be dependent on the contract/framework agreement and how this was established. Please refer to the individual user guides.

How do I choose a supplier if there is more than one listed in the contract/framework agreement?
This all depends on how the framework was set up, and will usually be through either a direct award or further competition. Details can be found in the relevant user guide and you can get impartial, professional advice from us throughout.

How do I know that YPO contracts/framework agreements will meet my requirements?
All of our contracts/framework agreements have been developed with our customers in mind. Many also provide a range of options through different lots, so they have the flexibility to meet more specific requirements.
-
The supplier I want to use isn’t on the contract/framework agreement. Can they be added?
As they are governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2006, there are specific rules that mean we cannot add organisations to existing contracts/framework agreements. Suppliers that are not listed cannot be included on any further competition conducted through the contract/framework agreement.

What supplier management procedures does YPO have in place?
YPO implements a supplier relationship management programme which ensures regular engagement with all suppliers. Performance SLAs (service level agreements) are established with each supplier at the start of the framework with on-going contract and performance reviews.
