Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council for the "Provision of Rehabilitation Officer for the Visually Impaired (ROVI)" has reached the award stage. This project falls under the services category in the health and social care sector and is taking place in the United Kingdom, within the UKE region. The procurement method was executed under a "below threshold" type with a light touch approach. The key dates for this contract include a service period starting on 2nd March 2026 and ending on 2nd September 2026, with a potential extension until 2nd December 2026, if required. The contract, valued at £60,500, was awarded to THE WILBERFORCE TRUST, a large-scale supplier with a focus on community-based services.

This tender presents a noteworthy opportunity for businesses engaged in health and social work services, particularly those specializing in support for visually impaired individuals. Although the immediate award was to a large supplier, businesses capable of offering innovative rehabilitation and support services could find significant growth opportunities in this sector by demonstrating niche expertise and capacity for community-driven impact. Companies with a track record in delivering bespoke health-related services and those willing to engage in similar values can position themselves as valuable partners for future tenders in this area.
