Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is procuring a specialist safeguarding support service for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations across the East Riding of Yorkshire. The service will provide safeguarding advice, training and strategic representation, helping organisations develop safe practices, meet their safeguarding responsibilities and respond to emerging risks affecting children, young people and adults at risk. It will act as a link between the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector, local safeguarding partnerships and statutory agencies. The work includes promoting collaboration, sharing learning and good practice, amplifying community voices, and supporting safer organisations and communities. This is a health and social work service, delivered across the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The procurement has reached tender: East Riding of Yorkshire Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 23:00, and offers by 15 October 2026 at 11:00. The contract is valued at £154,800 gross and covers one lot. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with a possible 12-month extension at the council’s sole discretion, up to 31 March 2030. Evaluation is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality. Electronic submission is allowed. The opportunity is subject to the light-touch regime and is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits organisations with established expertise in safeguarding across the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector. Relevant capability includes providing specialist safeguarding advice, delivering training, helping organisations develop safe working practices, and supporting them to meet safeguarding responsibilities. Suppliers should be able to engage with organisations working with children, young people and adults at risk, identify and respond to emerging safeguarding risks, and share learning and good practice. The service also calls for the ability to represent sector interests strategically, build collaboration, and work constructively with local safeguarding partnerships and statutory agencies. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although participation is not reserved for those organisations.
