Summary, notice description and lot information
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is planning a procurement process for "Independent Best Interest Assessors 2025," focused on Health and Social Work Services. As a preliminary stage, a pipeline notice has been published, indicating that the procurement is in the planning stage. The contract, with a value of approximately £3 million gross, is situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a region identified as UKE12.
Potential bidders should note the framework agreement under a light-touch regime, acknowledging its potential for business engagement through a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement process has noted a future notice date for additional details by 30th June 2025, with the contract period scheduled from 6th November 2025 to 7th November 2027, and possible extensions up to 2030. This planned tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, specifically for SMEs and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care services.
The strategic focus on fulfilling Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards signifies demand for firms capable of providing high-quality Best Interest Assessors under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

This tender's open framework agreement model offers an excellent opportunity for companies that can provide specialised assessment services while contributing to the council's objectives in supporting vulnerable adults.
The purpose of this service is to ensure the East Riding of Yorkshire Council fulfils its statutory responsibility to operate and manage Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. 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.
