Description
YPO are looking to undertake preliminary market engagement to establish a compliant route to market for public sector organisations requiring Engineering Inspection services (including insurance) under the Procurement Act 2023. This is the second iteration of the previous framework 001014 (under the now redundant Public Contracts Regulations 2015).
The aim of the solution is to provide access to high-quality engineering inspection services for public sector organisations, with a route to market for engineering inspections as a standalone service, and not only as a "bolt on" to insurance placement procurements.

Engagement process description
YPO intends to hold pre-engagement sessions between 10 March - 17 April , 2025.
We require feedback from suppliers on the previous solution as well as potential new Type A UKAS-accredited engineering inspection suppliers, to: expand the scope, review Terms and Conditions, discuss market conditions, discuss price element, review options for delivery of Social Value, discuss potential routes to the market and discuss mechanisms for call-offs in order to ensure the new iteration is fit-for-purpose for public sector customers to call off.
Sessions will take place remotely (via Microsoft Teams) or in-person, depending on the availability and capacity of the supplier. Please contact James Maclean at insurance@ypo.co.uk to request the Request for Information (RFI) document and to arrange availability for a PME session.
