    Brief

    YPO is seeking suppliers to provide, hire, manage, and maintain a modern Material Handling Equipment (MHE) fleet for its distribution operations. This is a two-lot contract: Lot 1 covers warehouse equipment (9 Reach Trucks, 3 Counterbalance Trucks, 8 LLOPs, and 12 PPTs) with a 7-year initial term; Lot 2 covers vehicle-mounted delivery equipment (4 PPT units) with a 3-year initial term. One supplier will be appointed to each lot. The successful supplier(s) must provide complete fleet support including equipment supply, installation, regular servicing, parts replacement, labour, technical support, compliance certification, and associated management systems. For Lot 1, a real-time fleet management system is required to deliver live performance data, event alerts, and automated reporting for proactive maintenance planning and fault diagnosis. Suppliers should demonstrate capability to: reduce equipment downtime and optimise maintenance costs; improve safety standards and ensure operational compliance; provide operational resilience for seasonal and peak demand; adopt modern, energy-efficient battery and charging technologies; and deliver future-ready, scalable solutions supporting warehouse automation and evolving technologies. The contract replaces YPO's existing fleet with safer, more efficient, and sustainable equipment.
