When this comes round again

East Riding of Yorkshire Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 230 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

23% of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

In order to support in complying with the statutory requirement, the commissioner (East Riding of Yorkshire Council) is procuring the services of Independent Best Interest Assessors (BIAs) to assist in the completion of Deprivation of Liberty Standards (DoLS) assessments.

This will be achieved through the provision of Best Interest Assessors, on an open Framework Agreement, who will be invited to undertake DoLS assessments for the purpose of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 on behalf of vulnerable adults across the East Riding of Yorkshire, and occasionally out of county.

This is a Pseudo Open Framework under the Light Touch Regime for the provision of Independent Best Interest Assessors and will be opened once every 12 months during the duration.

Following the tender initial tender deadline a new tender will be advertised, for continuity and submissions can be made at any time, however, please note they will only be evaluated once every 12 months.

The second deadline for submissions will be 12 noon on 1 September 2026.

The next (third) opening after the deadline of 12 noon 1 September 2026 will be 1 September 2027.

The evaluations for the third opening will be completed during the month of September 2027 and service providers notified of the outcome of their submission prior to the start of the following month e.g. submissions in September 2027 will be notified in October 2027 and will join the framework from the beginning of November 2027.

This procedure will remain the same each year during the lifetime of the Framework agreement. (i.e. a new tender to be advertised after each deadline until the penultimate year of the Framework agreement).

Service providers who have been appointed onto the Framework following the initial opening (and subsequent openings) do not need to resubmit and will remain on the Framework.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
