We ask that when you activate the YPO framework, you commit to ensuring all users of Amazon Business in your organisation are added to your centrally administered account. This ensures you have full sight of spend, and more control, helping you best demonstrate compliance with procurement regulations. We also ask that you commit to communicating to users in your organisation that you've chosen Amazon Business as a procurement partner, for the same reason.

Stephenson Multi-Academy Trust
"Over a three-year period, the Trust estimates that they will have saved £30,000 through using Amazon Business."
South Ayrshire were looking for added compliance while purchasing on Amazon Business. We activated the YPO framework as it gives us the peace of mind that we are getting best offer and value on the marketplace. We have also consolidated our suppliers, as Amazon has become the single supplier of invoice for all our orders. Furthermore, it has effectively solved any issues with tail spend, and was invaluable during the pandemic of getting a variety of goods we struggled to procure through our traditional suppliers
— Andrew Kerr, Procurement Manager at South Ayrshire
