Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council commissioned a female suicide lived experience research project, described as a regional project for Hull City Council on behalf of the Association of Directors of Public Health for Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is for research services, research and development consultancy, and social research. It concerns gathering and using lived-experience evidence relating to female suicide, rather than construction, goods supply or clinical treatment. Delivery is associated with Hull and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. The buying organisation is Hull City Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected provider is New Light CIC, an SME based in York, indicating that the work is suitable for organisations able to undertake regional research and consultancy for public health stakeholders.

This below-threshold open competition has reached completion: Hull City Council selected New Light CIC, and the contract is active. The award was for a single lot. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 14 March 2029. Its value is £30,500 excluding VAT and £36,600 including VAT. The tender closed on 7 August 2026, with enquiries closing on 31 July 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. The procurement was evaluated using criteria set out in the tender documentation; the published record does not reproduce their weighting or individual requirements. The contract is for services and was below the relevant threshold. The procurement was run as an open competition rather than a restricted or direct award procedure.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of the type of public health research Hull City Council commissions for the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Relevant competitors would need credible capability in social research, research consultancy and the design or delivery of work based on lived experience of female suicide. They would also need to demonstrate that they can handle sensitive subject matter responsibly and produce evidence that is useful to a council and regional public health partners; these expectations follow from the stated requirement and its commissioning context. The successful supplier is an SME, while the requirement was marked as suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Organisations combining research expertise with public-sector or population-health delivery experience would therefore be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable work.
