Tender opportunities


Welcome to the procurement section of the YHN website. 

YHN procures a range of goods and services from stationery items to building materials. We spend around £145m per year on externally provided goods and services.  

Our approach to procurement is detailed in our Procurement Strategy (click here to access our Procurement Strategy). This details our vision, strategic aims and how we will deliver the Strategy.

As an ALMO YHN’s procurement activities are governed by a number of legislative and regulatory sources. This impacts and governs our approach to strategic sourcing, acquisition and post contract activities.

We are keen to widen our supplier base and increase the number of organisations we do business with.  In order to do this we are looking to improve the way we advertise tender opportunities and expand our standing list of suppliers.

  • All our tenders over a certain value (£139,893 goods and services and £3,497,313 works) are advertised through the Supplement of the Official Journal of the European Union. This can be accessed through Tenders Electronic Daily at http://ted.europa.eu/
  • For all supply and install contracts, we operate a standing list of approved suppliers. If you are interested in becoming registered on this list, then please contact Rhonda Eagle, Principal Finance Officer (Procurement & Payments) on telephone number
    0191-2788601 or e-mail rhonda.eagle@yhn.org.uk

We are currently running a pilot project advertising tender opportunities on our website.
