Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured city-wide fencing works and related services in Kingston upon Hull. The requirement covers two areas: community fencing, and fencing associated with repairs, maintenance and void properties, parks and open spaces. The work includes the erection of fencing across council-managed sites and properties. Both lots are delivered in Hull. The buying organisation is Hull City Council, a local public authority. The procurement is categorised primarily as works, with services also included. The relevant activity is fencing installation and associated city-wide fencing provision, corresponding to CPV 45342000. Tony Cook Ltd was appointed to deliver both parts of the requirement, making this relevant to fencing contractors able to undertake installation and related work across a local-authority estate and public open spaces.

The procurement is complete and both lots were awarded to Tony Cook Ltd. It used a below-threshold open competition through a one-stage competitive request for quotation. Lot 1, covering citywide repairs, maintenance and voids, and parks and open spaces, has an awarded contract value of £2,240,000 excluding VAT. Lot 2, covering city-wide community fencing, has an awarded contract value of £600,000 excluding VAT. Both contracts were signed on 20 July 2026 and run from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2029, with one optional 12-month extension to 26 July 2030. The tender deadline was 8 May 2026 at 16:00. Evaluation was based on 60% price and 40% quality. Both lots were identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award demonstrates established council demand for city-wide fencing delivered across housing-related repairs, void properties, parks, open spaces and community settings. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in fencing erection, the capacity to cover multiple work types and locations across Hull, and the operational resilience to support repairs and maintenance activity as well as planned installation. Experience working on public-sector, housing, parks or community estates would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to compete on price while evidencing quality through clear delivery methods, reliable scheduling, safe working practices and consistent workmanship. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that a capable smaller or community-focused fencing business could be well placed, provided it can manage the required scale and service breadth.
