Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has completed the procurement process for a two-year renewal of the Orlo Social Media Platform. This contract, classified under the industry category of software package and information systems, falls within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted as a single tender action (below threshold), with the tender period concluding on 20 March 2026, and the contract period spanning from 21 March 2026 to 20 March 2028. The total value of the contract is £58,000 and was awarded on 9 March 2026 to the supplier, Orlo. The procurement stage was at the award phase at the time of reporting.

This tender presents opportunities for suppliers of software packages and information systems to engage with public sector entities interested in digital and social media management solutions. While the process used was a direct procurement method, suggesting a specific supplier was chosen, similar future opportunities could benefit software developers and vendors specialising in communication platforms suited for organisational needs. Although the process was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with expertise in social media platforms and software management could find growth potential in aligning with such procurement opportunities, especially when targeting large-scale, public sector contracts.
