Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured services to develop a Confederation of Lived Experience Recovery Organisations and support Hull’s Inclusive Recovery City ambitions. The work combines community and social services, evaluation consultancy, civic betterment and community facility support. It is intended to strengthen organisations and activity shaped by people with lived experience of recovery, while contributing to the council’s wider inclusive recovery ambitions. Delivery is centred on Hull. The buyer is Hull City Council, a local public authority. The requirement is a service rather than construction, equipment supply or a conventional professional consultancy alone: relevant providers are likely to combine community development, recovery-sector knowledge, partnership building and evaluation capability. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition using a single-stage open procedure. One lot was awarded to Forum CIO. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027, with two optional 12-month extensions at Hull City Council’s discretion, allowing a maximum period to 23 August 2029. The contract value is £25,000 excluding the stated gross value of £30,000. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026 at 11:00, and the enquiry deadline was 9 July 2026 at 11:00. The published award basis directs suppliers to the tender documentation for the evaluation criteria. Forum CIO is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for services that connect lived experience of recovery with public-sector recovery strategy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established relationships with lived experience recovery organisations, the ability to convene or develop a confederation, and a practical understanding of inclusive community recovery in Hull. It would also need to translate community insight into advice or activity that supports a council’s ambitions, rather than provide only generic social care or standalone research. Evaluation and evidence skills are relevant because the requirement includes evaluation consultancy. The opportunity was explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so specialist community organisations, social enterprises and partnership-led providers may be well placed, particularly where they can demonstrate local engagement, collaborative delivery and the capacity to manage a council-funded service.
