UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured grant administration services delivered through the FundingConnect platform. The requirement includes flexible options for distributing grants through the platform and use of the Evouchers platform to deploy the council’s Free School Meals scheme. This is primarily a software and information-systems requirement, combined with the administration and operational support needed to manage grant distribution. The buyer is East Riding of Yorkshire Council, based in Beverley. The awarded services support delivery across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and concerns a public-sector digital service used for financial assistance and free-school-meal provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to EVOUCHERS LTD. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown, and the tender was marked complete. The award is active and was made on 10 June 2026; the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £27,000 gross. The contract runs from 10 June 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an optional one-year extension allowing it to continue until 31 March 2029. There was one lot, which was completed and awarded to the single named supplier. The published outcome identifies software and information systems as the procurement category, with the requirement covering grant administration through FundingConnect and Free School Meals deployment through Evouchers.

This outcome indicates demand from a local authority for a supplier able to combine grant administration with reliable digital voucher and disbursement platforms. Credible competitors would need practical experience operating software that supports public-sector financial assistance, flexible distribution arrangements and controlled payments to intended recipients. Capability in administering schemes at scale across England would be relevant, particularly where the service must support multiple local-authority programmes or geographic areas through a consistent platform. Experience delivering free-school-meal or other education-related voucher schemes would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would clear processes for safeguarding data, maintaining accurate records, supporting council users and resolving recipient queries. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that a specialist technology and service provider can meet this type of requirement without being a large systems integrator.
