## Summary

East Riding of Yorkshire Council commissioned consultancy services for a cost of care exercise supporting adult residential care commissioning. The work involves analysing costs and developing evidence to inform the council’s commissioning activity for adult residential care. It is a public-sector consulting requirement, covering business and professional advisory services. Delivery is associated with East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the wider East Riding area in the United Kingdom. The buyer is East Riding of Yorkshire Council, a sub-central public authority based in Beverley. The requirement was arranged as one service lot and has been delivered by a specialist public-sector advisory firm. Businesses with experience in care-sector cost analysis, commissioning evidence and consultancy for local authorities would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method is described as unknown. One lot was completed. Grant Thornton UK Advisory & Tax LLP received the award, and the associated contract is active. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 16 October 2026. Its value is £45,000 excluding tax, or £54,000 including tax. The procurement record identifies business services, including consulting, as the classification of the awarded work. The award relates to the full single lot. The published outcome therefore confirms the selected supplier, the agreed contract value and the short delivery period for the cost of care exercise.

This outcome indicates demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for specialist consultancy supporting adult residential care commissioning. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate strong analytical capability, including the ability to collect, assess and interpret care-cost evidence and turn it into clear commissioning advice. Relevant experience with adult social care markets, residential care providers and local-authority decision making would be important. Suppliers should also be able to manage a focused evidence-development exercise, produce robust outputs to a public-sector standard and work effectively with council commissioning teams. The selected supplier is a large advisory partnership, indicating that established consulting capacity and public-sector delivery experience can be relevant to this buyer’s requirements.
