Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council sought an operator to run the Priory Park Park & Ride service in Kingston upon Hull. The work is a public road transport service, carrying passengers between Priory Park and the city on weekdays. Journeys are required in the morning, from 06:30 to 09:00, and in the afternoon and evening, from 14:30 to 19:00, Monday to Friday. The service is intended to provide regular commuter transport. The opportunity covers a single service requirement rather than separate lots, and the Council identifies it as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The Council invited tenders through a one-stage open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 October 2026 at 11:00, and the tender submission deadline was 27 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended contract period runs from 29 March 2027 to 29 March 2029, with an option for one further 12-month period, subject to satisfactory performance and the Council’s discretion. The estimated value is about £120,000 per year; the stated total is £240,000 excluding the extension and a maximum £360,000 including it. These are estimates, not a commitment to spend. Evaluation is weighted 80% on price, 15% on technical quality and 5% on social value. Economic and technical selection criteria are described in the tender documents.

This suits a passenger transport operator able to provide reliable weekday park-and-ride services in Hull, with vehicles and operational capacity to meet the specified morning and afternoon/evening service windows. The requirements point to experience planning and delivering scheduled public road transport, managing passenger journeys and maintaining consistent service performance. Price is the dominant award factor, so bidders need a competitive operating model as well as a credible technical-quality offer; social value also contributes to the assessment. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable, making this relevant beyond large transport groups. The Council’s economic and technical participation requirements are set out in the tender documents, and complete tender submissions are required; incomplete bids are eliminated.
