Straight plc, (AIM: STT) the environmental and products services group, is pleased to announce that it has secured a position on a new four year framework agreement with YPO, to supply a range of plastic wheeled bins from 140 to 1100 litre capacity.

The new contract is estimated to be worth between £30 and £60m across a total of six suppliers on the framework. It replaces a previous framework agreement for wheeled bins which has now expired.  Straight plc now holds positions on a total of four YPO framework agreements, which include the supply of metal wheeled bins, recycling containers and compostable liners as well as plastic wheeled bins.

YPO customers include public sector organisations such as schools, colleges and universities, emergency services, and major local government departments. Framework agreements offer a fully compliant route to market, allowing customers to buy goods without going through the full procurement process required through the Official Journal of the European Union.

Jonathan Straight, Chief Executive of Straight plc, commented:

"We have been a supplier to YPO, the UK's largest public sector organisation, since 2005, and a supplier of wheeled bins to YPO customers since 2008. Our appointment is testament to our high compliance and quality levels, and the fact our products have also achieved the latest standards for certification. We look forward to continuing to work with YPO now and in the future, and to continue the high level of service that we are renowned for."

Helen Wardman, Category Manager at YPO said:

"Having worked with Straight for a number of years, we know first-hand that it enables us to deliver real savings to our customers combined with a high level of customer service and an exceptional quality standard. I am therefore delighted to continue our relationship and look forward to continuing to work together in the future."
