Launch Announcement - YPO Goes live on WiredGov

We are delighted to announce YPO as the latest stakeholder channel to go live on WiredGov!

Better value, delivered

For over 40 years YPO has supplied the public sector across the UK with products and services to help drive efficiency savings. We use our bulk buying power to achieve the best prices for our customers on supplies and for access to contract services (known as frameworks) in everything from pens, paper and food to energy, insurance, ICT and HR services.

YPO is the largest formally constituted public sector buying organisation in the UK, with a total of 54 member authorities, meaning all profits go back into the public purse. We provide around 30,000 products and 100 framework contracts to our customers in education, emergency services, charities, third sector and local authorities.

Established in 1974, we combine customer demand across all of our public sector customers, negotiating with suppliers to buy in bulk - achieving the most competitive prices. With a specialist team of qualified and specialist procurement professionals, we’re able to source better value solutions from the market.

Awarding-winning public sector procurement organisation

In March 2015, YPO was crowned Supplier of the Year in the over £10 million turnover category at the annual British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) Education Resources Awards for the second consecutive year, which celebrate the successes of suppliers and teaching professionals in the UK education sector. 

This followed nominations at the Institute of Customer Service (ICS) Customer Satisfaction Awards earlier in the same month, where YPO was shortlisted in the Customer Commitment, HR Employee Engagement, and Customer Strategic Leadership award categories amongst leading retailers including Marks and Spencer, Volkswagen and Carillion.

Following a successful tender process, YPO was awarded a place on the National Procurement Service (NPS) for Wales framework in May 2015. The framework enables YPO to supply Educational Furniture to public sector organisations across Wales, building upon an already growing presence amongst schools.

In May 2016, we won a Silver Award at the UK Employee Experience Awards in the Delivering Customer Experience – Loving the Customer category. The Awards recognise the hard work, leadership and focus that happens behind the scenes, out of customers’ view, to ensure not only great customer experience but great business results too. Most recently in June 2016, YPO was awarded with the ECMOD Direct Commerce Award 2016 for ‘Outstanding customer service B2B’.
