    Brief

    East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking a VCSE (Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise) partner for a one-year contract starting April 2027, with a potential six-month extension. The contract comprises three main elements: (1) Prevention and Resilience - administering grants, delivering community coordination and resilience activities, managing grant decisions, payments, due diligence and performance monitoring; (2) VCSE Infrastructure and Development - providing organisational development support, governance advice, volunteering support, leadership training, funding advice and sector representation; (3) Independent Participatory Research - conducting independent research to shape the VCSE model for April 2028 onwards. The Council is also seeking feedback on whether an Inclusion Health function should be included or separately priced. This preliminary market engagement is exploring scope, deliverability, market capacity, costs and procurement structure. The Council is particularly interested in how smaller, specialist and locality-based organisations can participate meaningfully and how the arrangement reflects East Riding's geographical diversity. This one-year arrangement is intended to maintain service continuity while informing longer-term commissioning strategy. Interested parties should note that participation in engagement does not guarantee future contract awards. All details including scope, budget, contract value, structure and timetable remain indicative and subject to change.
