Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured an optional one-year renewal of GovDelivery, a software package and information system used to support the council’s digital communications requirements. The requirement is for continued access to and use of the GovDelivery platform rather than a new works or general services contract. The buying organisation is East Riding of Yorkshire Council, based at Beverley County Hall. Delivery is specified for Yorkshire and the Humber in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is relevant to software providers, platform owners and technology suppliers able to support public-sector communications systems and provide continuity of service for a local authority environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Granicus. It used a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold, rather than an open competition. The award was made on 31 March 2027 for £44,569.47 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, covering the optional one-year GovDelivery renewal. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 31 March 2027. There was one overall requirement rather than separate lots. The award is active, and Granicus is the selected supplier. The procurement was categorised as goods, with evaluation through the single-tender route rather than published competitive award criteria.

For suppliers assessing future public-sector demand, this award shows East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s requirement for an established digital communications platform delivered at local-authority scale. A credible competitor would need to provide GovDelivery or an equivalent service, maintain reliable access and continuity, and support the council’s operational use of the system throughout a full service cycle. The incumbent supplier, Granicus, is a large organisation, while the procurement recorded that the requirement was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Providers with proven public-sector software delivery, dependable platform support, data and service continuity controls, and experience working with councils would be best placed to compete when this requirement is next considered.
