An established British manufacturer

YPO 001204
The Supply of PPE, Workwear, Uniform and Managed Services
Price Western has been appointed as an approved supplier under the following areas of the YPO 001204 framework:

The YPO framework has been created to meet the requirements of public-sector organisations throughout the UK. It provides participating organisations with access to approved suppliers across a comprehensive range of PPE, workwear, uniforms and associated equipment.
Price Western’s appointment enables eligible organisations to procure relevant products through the framework, including through the direct-award process where the appropriate framework requirements are met.
BlueLight Commercial BLC0160
Provision of ARV/ARVO Uniform
Price Western has also been appointed to the BlueLight Commercial BLC0160 national framework under:
- Lot 2 Gloves
This framework supports the provision of specialist uniform and operational clothing for police firearms personnel. It is available to all 43 territorial police forces in the United Kingdom, as well as wider blue light organisations.
Through this framework, eligible organisations can access Price Western’s range of specialist gloves for demanding operational roles. Our team can provide further information about available products, sizing, specifications and procurement through the framework.
How to purchase through a national framework
If your organisation is eligible to use one of these frameworks, start by telling us what equipment you need, along with any product specifications, quantities and delivery requirements. We can help identify the relevant Price Western products and framework lot.
Your procurement team can then follow the framework’s call-off procedure. Depending on the framework and your requirements, this may be a direct award or a further competition (also called a mini competition). YPO and BlueLight Commercial can provide the framework access details, pricing documents and guidance needed to complete that process.
