Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured the supply, installation and maintenance of Eco Bus Shelters, including associated bus-stop shelter construction works. The requirement covers physical shelters and their ongoing upkeep for the council’s passenger transport infrastructure. Delivery is across Yorkshire and the Humber in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Hull City Council, based at The Guildhall in Hull. This is primarily a works requirement, with a combined supply and maintenance element. Businesses should therefore consider whether they can provide complete bus shelter solutions, covering manufacture or supply, site installation and planned or responsive maintenance rather than only one isolated service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 August 2026 to Trueform Engineering Limited. The contract is for up to £650,000 in total, including any extension periods. It runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2031, with an option for the Authority to extend by up to 12 months, subject to satisfactory performance and the Authority’s discretion. The requirement was placed through the Procurement Services Framework for Bus Shelters, Real Time Passenger Information and Associated Services, using a direct award under Lot 1, Bus Shelters and Associated Services. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at midday. The recorded award is active.

This award indicates established demand from Hull City Council for end-to-end bus shelter delivery and upkeep across Yorkshire and the Humber. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to supply suitable shelters, manage construction or installation activities, and maintain them throughout a long-term public service contract. Experience coordinating manufacture, site works, health and safety, access arrangements and ongoing maintenance would be commercially relevant. The existing award was made through a specialist public-sector framework and by direct award, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand framework participation and the requirements of the relevant bus shelter lot. The opportunity is better suited to larger, established engineering or infrastructure businesses than to SMEs or voluntary organisations.
