"Publicly owned procurement organisation serving schools and nurseries since 1974"
YPO is a 100% publicly owned procurement organisation that has been serving schools and nurseries across the UK since 1974.
YPO has been a trusted procurement partner for the education sector since 1974, offering over twenty thousand products and more than one hundred compliant procurement frameworks. As a publicly owned organisation, YPO operates with a social purpose mandate, ensuring ethical and environmentally responsible procurement. For nurseries, YPO's food and catering division has supplied schools with canned, dried, and packaged food and drinks for over forty years. Their framework agreements cover outsourced catering services, catering equipment, and disposables — giving nurseries a compliant procurement route that satisfies local authority requirements. The catering frameworks allow settings to procure essential services like catering, cleaning, and facilities management through pre-approved suppliers at negotiated rates. This is particularly useful for nurseries operating within local authority structures or those that need to demonstrate procurement compliance. YPO's nursery and early years range also extends to classroom furniture, outdoor play equipment, arts materials, and curriculum resources — making it a genuine one-stop procurement platform for setting managers.
