Procurement team

Procuring your requirements through the YORconsult3 framework is straightforward, safe and sustainable.

That’s because it was set up by a team of procurement, project delivery and legal professionals from the two authorities that run and manage the framework.

This team has years of experience in establishing and managing public sector frameworks and partnering arrangements.
