Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has procured the supply of LED street lanterns for street-lighting applications in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement covers lanterns and associated lighting equipment and electric lamps, classified under CPV 31527210, with street-lighting equipment also included. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or service contract. The appointed supplier is TRT Lighting Limited, a lighting manufacturer and supplier based in Redditch, Worcestershire. The buyer is Hull City Council, whose services and assets create the demand for the equipment. Businesses supplying LED street lanterns, municipal street-lighting equipment or related electrical lighting products are the closest fit. The requirement was sourced through YPO Framework 1259, Street Lighting Products and Services, Lot 1 for electrical supplies including cables.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TRT Lighting Limited on 21 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £250,000, and the contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2031. Hull City Council used a direct award under YPO Framework 1259, Lot 1, rather than an open competition. The tender had a submission deadline of 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the full stated requirement and there is one appointed supplier. The published procurement category is goods, with the contract focused on supplying LED street lanterns. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active.

This procurement indicates established local-authority demand for LED street lanterns and related electrical street-lighting supplies at a substantial, multi-year scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable supply of LED lanterns suitable for public street-lighting schemes, with the operational capacity to support Hull City Council’s needs across Yorkshire and the Humber. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, distributors and electrical-supplies specialists able to provide consistent product availability, technical product information and reliable delivery for council infrastructure. The route to market is also important: the incumbent was appointed through the YPO Street Lighting Products and Services framework, specifically its electrical supplies lot, by direct award. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore understand framework participation and direct-award call-offs, while maintaining the capacity expected of an established lighting supplier.
