Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured oral health products to support its Oral Health Programme in Hull. The requirement covers children’s dental-care supplies, including printed toothbrushes, 1,450ppm toothpaste, oral health packs for children aged three and over, SEND oral health packs, toothbrush storage racks and name stickers. The supply also includes related dental products and services, with delivery across Hull. The buyer is Hull City Council, a local public authority. The requirement is primarily for goods, with associated arrangements for product support, storage, distribution and delivery to community or school settings. The products are intended for use by children and must be suitable, safe, accessible and appealing for the programme’s targeted age groups and users.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. There was one lot. Hull City Council awarded the contract to The Brush Bus Ltd on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 9 August 2031. The contract value is £42,000 excluding VAT and £50,400 including VAT; the stated annual value is £14,000 and the anticipated total including extensions is £70,000. Bids were evaluated on price at 30% and quality at 70%, covering continuity, product proposals, quality management, delivery and logistics, and sustainability and innovation.

This award shows demand from Hull City Council for a supplier able to provide children’s oral health products at scale across community and school settings, rather than simply supplying standard retail goods. A credible competitor would need a suitable range of toothbrushes, toothpaste, oral health packs, storage racks and related materials, with product designs appropriate for children, different age groups and SEND users. Strong evidence would include safety and quality certifications, product specifications, safety data sheets, inspection and testing procedures, supplier assurance, batch traceability, audit and monitoring arrangements, and reliable recall handling. The requirement also favours established logistics, stock continuity, multi-site delivery, responsive order processing, sustainability measures, fair employment practices and added-value education or community engagement.
