## Summary

East Riding of Yorkshire Council commissioned an updated Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) to replace its existing Level 1 and Level 2 assessments. The work supports preparation and adoption of the East Riding Local Plan. It is research and consultancy in flood risk planning (CPV 73000000), delivered for the council in the East Riding of Yorkshire, with the buyer based in Beverley.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED. The award date was 22 September 2026, and the contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 30 April 2029. The awarded value is £225,657.17. The initial estimated tender value was £225,657. The stated procurement method was “Other”; no further procedure detail is recorded. This was a single award, with no lots identified. The assessment was commissioned to replace the council’s 2019 Level 1 and 2021 Level 2 studies and inform the Local Plan. Small and medium-sized businesses were marked as suitable to participate. No evaluation criteria are provided in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for specialist flood-risk assessment consultancy to inform local planning. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the technical capability to assess strategic flood risk at both Level 1 and Level 2, update earlier assessments, and produce evidence that can support local-plan preparation and adoption. The awarded supplier, OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED, is recorded as a large organisation, while the council marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. This indicates that scale alone was not identified as a barrier to participation; SMEs with relevant flood-risk expertise and capacity to deliver planning evidence could be well placed to compete when similar work returns to market.
