Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council commissioned development of a Humber Investment Prospectus for Kingston upon Hull. The work is an economic and financial modelling service, including an economic impact assessment, intended to support investment promotion for the Humber area. The requirement sits within the council’s ERPS framework, Lot 4a for economic and financial modelling works. The appointed provider is Ove Arup & Partners Ltd. Delivery is associated with Hull and the wider Humber area in the United Kingdom. This is primarily a professional economic consultancy and investment-planning opportunity, rather than construction or the supply of physical goods. Relevant businesses are those providing economic impact assessment, investment prospectus development, financial modelling, economic analysis and related advisory services to public-sector clients.

This procurement has been completed and awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd. It was a direct award under the Hull City Council ERPS framework, using Lot 4a, with the procurement described as below threshold and without competition. The award date was 13 August 2026. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 9 November 2026. Its value is £28,805.20 excluding VAT and £34,566.24 including VAT. There is one completed lot and one active award. The requirement was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. Hull City Council is the buying organisation, and Ove Arup & Partners Ltd is the selected supplier.

This award indicates that Hull City Council uses specialist economic and financial modelling suppliers to shape investment propositions for the Humber area. Businesses seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in economic impact assessment, financial modelling, economic analysis and the preparation of clear investment prospectuses for public-sector audiences. Experience translating evidence into an investment case, assessing regional or local economic effects, and presenting findings in a form that supports funding, regeneration or investor engagement would be relevant. The route used here also shows the importance of securing a place on, or partnering with a supplier on, the council’s ERPS framework, particularly its economic and financial modelling category. A credible competitor would therefore combine technical consultancy expertise with public-sector delivery experience and framework access.
