Description
YPO and its Collaborative Partners are embarking on preliminary market engagement to shape a compliant and effective route to market for the procurement of Utilities Framework Agreement for the supply of Water, Wastewater, and Ancillary Services across all public sector bodies, in alignment with the Procurement Act 2023. This initiative represents the third evolution of the framework, building on the foundations of previous iterations established under the now superseded Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The objective is clear: to deliver a streamlined solution that ensures public sector organisations have access to a high-quality, reliable water retailer. By engaging early with the market, YPO and its Collaborative Partners seeks to foster innovation, encourage competition, and secure best value, while maintaining full compliance with the latest legislative requirements. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a solution that not only complies the legislative framework for public sector procurement but also drives sustainability, efficiency, and excellence in service delivery for the public sector.
