Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has appointed a supplier to carry out structural and building investigation surveys of five high-rise residential buildings in Hull: Melville Street Blocks 1 and 2, New Michael Street, Lindsey Place and Denaby Court. The requirement is for building surveying and inspection services, including structural surveys of the buildings. The work is intended to investigate the condition and structure of these residential blocks. The procurement also allows for similar additional or repeat services, primarily structural surveys of high-rise and mid-rise buildings, to be commissioned under the same general contract terms and pricing structure. Delivery is in Hull.

The procurement is complete and Firntec Ltd. was selected through a one-stage open procedure. The award is dated 25 September 2026 and is valued at £1,560,702 excluding VAT (£1,872,842 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 July 2027, with no extension option stated for the core contract. Hull City Council may directly award similar additional or repeat surveys without further competition, on substantially the same terms and pricing structure, subject to permitted adjustments. Bids were assessed on quality, including social value, weighted at 70%, and price weighted at 30%. Two bids were received, with one proceeding to the final stage; Firntec was the final-stage bidder.

This award shows that Hull City Council buys structural investigations for high-rise residential buildings, with provision for similar surveys of mid-rise buildings. Suppliers aiming to compete when this requirement next reaches the market would need credible capability in structural surveying and building investigation, and the capacity to cover several occupied or residential blocks across a multi-month programme. The successful offer came through an open, one-stage competition, where quality, including social value, carried substantially more weight than price. Firms should therefore be able to demonstrate a robust technical approach and relevant survey experience, alongside a clear social-value offer and competitive pricing. The council’s established delivery model and supply chain for comparable surveys indicate that proven ability to work within an established model is commercially relevant.
