## Summary

Hull City Council appointed a lead consultant for a multidisciplinary team to develop a vision for Hull City Hall, appraise options and prepare RIBA Stage 1 business cases. The work concerns the future of a building of historical or architectural interest and includes advisory architectural services. It is being delivered in Kingston upon Hull. The requirement is for consultancy leadership across the appraisal and early-stage business-case work, rather than construction delivery. Hull City Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd. The award was made on 19 October 2026 and the contract runs from 28 October 2026 to 15 January 2027. Its value is £66,852 excluding VAT (£80,222 including VAT). Hull City Council used a one-stage restricted mini-competition under the ERPS Framework, Lot 6, as a below-threshold limited competition. The process covered one lot. The published details identify the requirement and selected supplier but do not state the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Hull City Council, this award shows demand for consultancy leadership on a public building project combining vision development, options appraisal and RIBA Stage 1 business cases. A credible competitor would need to lead a multidisciplinary team and bring relevant advisory architectural expertise, with the ability to assess options for a historically or architecturally significant building and develop early-stage business cases. The route used was a framework mini-competition, so relevant framework access and the capacity to respond to a restricted competition would also matter. The requirement was a focused, short-duration commission rather than a large construction package; suppliers should be able to organise specialist input and deliver coordinated appraisal and business-case outputs for the council.
