On Wednesday, 17 October the Regional Procurement team of Yorkshire and
Humber Police is collaborating with Yorkshire Ambulance Services and YPO
to offer existing and potential suppliers the opportunity to engage
directly with these major buying organisations.
Yorkshire and Humber Police Force’s director of regional procurement Jo
Osborne said: “This is a valuable opportunity for us to engage directly
with both existing suppliers and those interested in doing business with
us in the future. We’re hopeful that these conversations will generate
innovative proposals in our bid to achieve best value goods and
services.”
YPO launched its ‘Meet the Buyer’ days in May 2018, inviting suppliers
from across the UK to meet with YPO category buyers to discuss contract
opportunities and share ideas for innovative procurement. Since its
launch, YPO has meet with over 100 different organisations that supply
products and services in energy, ICT, food, HR, fleet, marketing, arts
and crafts, facilities management, furniture and more.
YPO’s head of procurement services Gillian Askew said: “Our Meet the
Buyer days don’t replace the bid process, but they do add in a
communication channel that is currently missing in public sector
procurement. We’ve had some really constructive conversations so far,
covering off hot topics such as social value and by just simply
listening to suppliers as they tell us about their services and ideas.”
The next Meet the Buyer session with YPO, Yorkshire and Humber Police
Forces and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service takes place on Wednesday,
October 17. Interested suppliers can find out more here
