Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council commissioned a cost-based benchmarking review of the KWL Contract rates for housing repairs, maintenance and capital works in Hull. The work covers calculation and monitoring of costs, with related financial management, financial consultancy and evaluation consultancy services. Its purpose is to assess whether the rates used for the KWL housing and asset management contract are reasonable and appropriately benchmarked. The buying organisation is Hull City Council, based at the Guildhall in Hull, and the work relates to housing and asset management activity in Hull. This is a professional consultancy service rather than construction delivery, repairs operation or capital works themselves. The procurement was advertised through a housing and asset management consultancy framework, indicating a requirement for specialist advisory capability in this field.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 28 July 2026. Ark Consultancy Limited was selected to provide the review. The awarded contract value is £15,000, in GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The opportunity was run through the CHIC consultancy framework, under Lot 4 for Housing and Asset Management Consultancy. The tender was classified as services and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was evaluated as a consultancy appointment for cost calculation, financial review, cost monitoring and evaluation of housing repairs, maintenance and capital works rates.

This award shows that Hull City Council uses specialist consultancy support to test and benchmark rates for housing repairs, maintenance and capital works. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in cost-based reviews, benchmarking and financial analysis, with the ability to assess contract rates rather than deliver the underlying building work. Experience of housing asset management, repairs and maintenance pricing, capital works costs and public-sector contract evaluation would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to produce clear, evidence-based findings for a local authority and work within a structured consultancy framework route. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a focused specialist practice with strong cost consultancy and housing-sector experience could be well placed when this buyer revisits the need.
