About the YORhub framework
The YORhub framework has been developed to enable public sector entities and public sector bodies to procure from contractors and suppliers through a fair and transparent platform. One of the key benefits of the YORhub framework is the development a pre-established agreement with different suppliers. There is a broad range of services which makes it particularly useful to public sector bodies.
Bidding for a YORhub framework is a highly competitive process. This is due to the fact that there is a robust procurement process with a large focus on quality, there is a thorough vetting process, and because there are always a large number of suppliers who are bidding to win. Whilst competitive, it also presents a substantial opportunity for businesses and organisations to secure short, medium and long term revenue through frameworks.
The YORhub Framework makes it easier for public entities to procure
This is one of the key reasons public sector clients procure through the YPO Framework. They don’t have to worry about conducting the procurement process themselves and avoid the risks of legal challenges and all the process involved in procurement.
They are also able to directly choose from the pre-approved suppliers who have a commitment to quality and have proven this commitment. This flows through to the quality of public sector projects – which are therefore higher.
Another key point is the public sector entities are better able to support local communities and the local economies in which they operate as well as SMEs and smaller enterprises.
The above is critical from a tender and bid writing perspective as you need to understand the motivations behind the clients in order to write a compelling bid or tender.
The operation of the YORhub Framework
The YORhub framework operates like most other frameworks. Businesses will go through a thorough and competitive application process where they will need to write a compelling bid. Once selected, they will be able to bid for specific projects. There is a simple and direct bidding system from the individual projects and there is a Dynamic Purchasing System so new contractors can joint he framework. This ensures there is no complacency for existing contractors.
Some key features of the YORhub framework include:
- The wide range of services from construction to engineering and professional services.
- A solid commitment to sustainability and social value. This is critical from a bid writing perspective as you need to show that your business or organisation holds similar values.
- A focus on environmental initiatives – again important that you talk about your ability to integrate these initiatives into your works especially when you are conducting public sector works.
- Collaboration and partnerships – again important particularly for your to emphasis your history and track record in working collaboratively.

Client testimonials
We had a must-win framework proposal to YORhub which we needed to submit. It was a framework with quite substantial annual expenditure and being successfully appointed was critical to our business. We had noticed that our tender and bid writing win rate had been dropping slightly, so we decided to use Tsaks Consulting UK to help us with this specific bid. Even though we have a very good in-house bid writing capability, not a dedicated resource, however, a general capability amongst our team members, it quickly became clear that the we could do much better. The team at Tsaks consulting UK were fantastic. The big benefit is they know YORhub really well and they have completed framework applications to them for a range of different businesses and industries. As a result, they are quick and effective in dealing with the documentation. They also have incredible insight into what YORhub is looking for in their bids, as they have attended debriefs in the past. They helped us understand what we needed to do to win. Finally, they are expert bid and tender writers and write exceptionally persuasive content. I would recommend Tsaks Consulting UK for any business looking to secure a YORhub framework.
