About the buyer

YPO is a purchasing organisation owned and governed by a consortium of thirteen local authorities across Yorkshire and North West England. A joint committee of member councils oversees its work, meeting on a set timetable. Competitions span categories from ICT and energy to facilities, food and catering, and construction. Surpluses return to member authorities and customers instead of outside shareholders, since YPO is self-funded.

Over the past 5 years, most of YPO's contract awards have been in software and information systems, financial and insurance services and business services.
