Tender description
YPO is creating a procurement solution to enable its customers to purchase children’s homes for children, focusing on securing whole homes rather than individual placements. There is strong evidence to support this type of strategic commissioning as it promotes improved outcomes for children, sufficiency and market shaping and improved value for money. The time is right to look at this differently, both for commissioners and providers, to begin to build stronger relationships between them. This means understanding the different perspectives, risk and challenges that prevent homes being provided in a way that works for children, providers and commissioners. With the objective of providing high quality local homes for children, which are part of a system that supports them, offering stability and the opportunity to become successful adults. Recognising that transitions and change require careful joint planning and support. ## Contract award Title: Children's Residential Care Solution (1322)

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. Suppliers register through YPO's own tendering portal to compete for places on its framework agreements. Competitions span categories from ICT and energy to facilities, food and catering, and construction. Appointed suppliers then serve YPO's customer base of schools, councils and public bodies without further re-tendering. Surpluses return to member authorities and customers instead of outside shareholders, since YPO is self-funded.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
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.
