Summary of the contracting process

Kingston upon Hull City Council procured mail fulfilment services for its requirements in Hull, within the United Kingdom. The work is classified as mailing-list compilation and mailing services (CPV 79570000). The published scope is stated broadly as mail fulfilment; the awarded service relates to one lot. This is a services contract for a supplier able to support the council’s mailing requirements. The council is the buying organisation, and the recorded delivery location is in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns mail fulfilment rather than general marketing or unrelated communications services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nite Direct Marketing Limited. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 15 December 2025 and runs from 15 December 2025 to 31 May 2026. Its value is £25,000 excluding tax, or £30,000 including tax. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The process comprised one lot, which is complete. The published procurement information does not state an award date or an evaluation basis beyond the direct, non-competitive route used.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand, this award shows that Kingston upon Hull City Council buys mail fulfilment services, including mailing-list compilation and mailing. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to handle the relevant mailing operations and deliver the council’s requirement reliably. Nite Direct Marketing Limited, recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected for the work, showing that a supplier of that scale has delivered this type of service for the council. The opportunity is specific to mail fulfilment; relevant experience in this service area is more pertinent than broader marketing capability.
