Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council commissioned the supply, installation and maintenance of eco bus shelters in Kingston upon Hull. The requirement covers bus shelter infrastructure rather than the real-time passenger information systems included elsewhere in the wider framework. The framework is managed by Kent County Council’s Commercial Services (KCS), and Hull made this purchase through its bus shelter lot. The shelters are intended for use at local bus stops; the contract description identifies the purchase as goods and services, with installation and maintenance forming part of the work. This opportunity is most relevant to suppliers of bus shelters that can also deliver installation and ongoing maintenance for a local authority.

The call-off has been awarded to Trueform Engineering Ltd, and the contract is active. Hull City Council used a direct award under the framework’s bus shelter lot. The wider framework was established through a restricted procedure; the lot’s stated award basis was price alone. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026, with work anticipated to begin on 17 August 2026 for five years. The authority may extend it by up to 36 months at its discretion, subject to satisfactory performance. The estimated value for the full contract period, including any extension, is £650,000. The underlying framework includes a separate real-time passenger information lot, which is not the subject of this Hull call-off.

This award demonstrates demand from Hull City Council for eco bus shelters delivered as a complete supply, installation and maintenance requirement. Suppliers competing for comparable work will need to provide suitable shelter products and the practical capacity to install them in the city, then maintain them over an extended service period. The direct-award route means credible suppliers need to be appointed to the relevant framework lot before a call-off of this kind. Three suppliers were appointed to the bus shelter lot, showing that the framework accommodates more than one provider. The stated evaluation basis was price, so a supplier’s commercial offer must be competitive while supporting satisfactory performance across the contract period.
