## Summary

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is initiating a preliminary market engagement for an Electoral Management System, categorised under software package and information systems. This process is in the planning stage, and while it is not an active tender, it signals potential future procurement activities. The procurement is conducted within the UK, specifically concerning sub-central government. A market engagement milestone is scheduled for completion by 19th November 2025. The communication from the Council on potential tender notice will be issued by 20th November 2025. Interested parties should note that this engagement is preparatory and not an immediate contracting opportunity.

This preliminary engagement offers a strategic opening for businesses involved in software development, particularly those specialising in information systems and electoral forms. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide robust and innovative electoral management solutions will find this an advantageous prospect to position themselves for future tender processes. As the Council looks for potential suppliers, this engagement allows businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and align their offerings with the Council's expectations, setting the stage for subsequent procurement opportunities.
