Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council commissioned a consultancy review of its Local Plan rollback policy. The work is intended to identify challenges and opportunities in the council’s current approach, develop recommendations for a new draft policy and guidance, and support the wider Local Plan review. Its stated aim is to help more residents and businesses roll back. This is a professional research, evaluation and policy consultancy service, covering analysis of an existing planning-policy approach and the production of practical recommendations and guidance. The commissioning organisation is East Riding of Yorkshire Council, based in Beverley. The requirement relates specifically to the East Riding of Yorkshire and its residents, businesses and Local Plan process, although the contracted service is classified as research and development and related consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to RISK & POLICY ANALYSTS LIMITED. There was one completed lot. The procurement was below threshold and the recorded method is ‘unknown’. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 22 February 2027. Its gross value is £64,882.50 including applicable taxes. The contract is active. The available award information records the service category as research and development and related consultancy services. The published scope identifies policy review, recommendations for a new draft policy and guidance, and support for the ongoing Local Plan review as the required outcomes. The award record identifies one supplier, with no separate award values or multiple supplier allocations.

This requirement is relevant to planning-policy consultancies, public-policy researchers and firms that evaluate local authority approaches and turn evidence into implementable recommendations. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to understand local planning policy, assess the practical effects of an existing rollback approach, identify barriers and opportunities, and produce a clear draft policy and supporting guidance. The work also calls for the ability to consider the needs of both residents and businesses, so relevant stakeholder research, consultation and engagement capability would strengthen a supplier’s position. Useful experience would include advising councils on Local Plan reviews or related planning-policy change, analysing evidence, explaining findings clearly, and translating analysis into deliverable guidance for public-sector decision-makers.
