UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council is buying a housing needs assessment to inform the Hull Local Plan. The service is for Kingston upon Hull and combines research consultancy with urban planning and evaluation work; the stated classifications also cover urban environmental development planning. The requirement is for a single assessment service rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The council seeks an evidence-based assessment of housing needs, with the detailed scope set out in the tender documents. Suppliers whose work covers housing research and local-plan evidence, alongside relevant planning or evaluation expertise, are the closest fit.

The council invited tenders through a one-stage open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The assessment contract was planned to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value is £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT); this is an estimate to inform bids, not a commitment to purchase services at that value. The buyer set 9 November 2026 at 17:00 as the deadline for enquiries and 16 November 2026 at 12:00 as the tender submission deadline. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Electronic submission is permitted. Incomplete bids are to be eliminated from the process.

This opportunity suits consultancies and research organisations able to assess housing need and produce robust evidence for a local plan in Hull. Relevant strengths include housing and demographic research, understanding of urban planning and development, and the ability to analyse findings and translate them into clear, usable recommendations for a local authority. Evaluation consultancy skills may also be relevant to delivering a sound assessment. The combination of quality-led scoring and a defined, single assessment requirement is likely to favour suppliers that can demonstrate a credible methodology, appropriate specialist expertise and capacity to complete the work within the contract period. The source sets out no particular accreditation or named qualification requirement.
